The Gulf Shooting 2021 drill kicked off on Sunday in Kuwait, with the participation of the Royal Saudi Land Forces, the Kuwaiti Land Force and US Army’s Spartan Force.
The commander of the drill, Colonel Nayef bin Al-Humaidi, said that this drill comes with the aim of strengthening military relations and joint defense cooperation with friendly countries, and exchanging military experiences and knowledge, in order to highlight and unify the combat capability of the three countries.
It will also cover procedures for commanding forces and responding quickly to emergency situations for joint ground operations, and develop tactical shooting skills for infantry and armored units in conjunction with close air support and administrative support operations, according to the press agency.
Last week, the Royal Saudi Air Force and the US Air Force completed a joint exercise on Sunday with the participation of Saudi Arabia’s F-15C fighters and the US’ B-1 strategic bombers.
In October, the US and Saudi Arabia conducted their joint naval exercise Indigo Defender-21, according to SPA.
