MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., March 9, 2015 – U.S. forces,
Gulf Cooperation Council nations and international partners are participating
in the multilateral Eagle Resolve exercise held in Kuwait, according to U.S.
Central Command officials.
Eagle Resolve 2015 kicked off March 8 and the exercise
concludes March 31, officials said. Exercise events are being held in Kuwait
and its territorial waters, officials added.
Eagle Resolve will consist of a weeklong series of
"injects," simulated events designed to exercise participants'
ability to respond as a multinational headquarters staff, followed by a series
of tactical demonstrations of land, maritime and air forces from several
nations, officials said.
The exercise ends with a senior leader seminar to foster an
environment for commanders to discuss issues of regional interest, officials
said.
About 3,000 U.S. military personnel representing U.S.
Central Command headquarters and its components along with military
representatives from more than a dozen other nations will support the exercise,
officials said.
This is the Kuwaiti government's first time hosting this
exercise, officials said.
Qatar hosted Eagle Resolve 2013, officials said. The first
iteration of the exercise was held at Centcom’s headquarters in Tampa, Florida,
in 1999.
