U.S. Navy and Air Force troops joined with United Arab Emirates pilots recently to conduct combined naval and air training operations in the southern Persian Gulf.
The training exercise, June 21-25, included using the expeditionary mobile base Lewis B. Puller as a staging platform to practice tracking and engaging simulated fast-attack craft.
UAE’s Joint Aviation Command worked with Navy and Air Force assets in U.S. Central Command, including the Navy’s P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft assigned to AFCENT Air Warfare Center at Al Dhafra Air Base, UAE, the DoD reported.
