U.S. 5th Fleet and the UAE Navy are training together in the bilateral exercise Iron Siren 19. This bilateral surface exercise will provide an opportunity for the two nations to share knowledge and experiences to enhance mutual maritime capabilities and interoperability. The intent of this year’s exercise is to enhance surface and air capabilities. By training together, exercises like Iron Siren 19 allow U.S. and the UAE to effectively develop the necessary skills to address threats to freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce.
