Saudi Arabia Completes Its First-Ever Army Training Rotation in the United States
World
On November 19, the Royal Saudi Land Forces (RSLF) concluded their first training rotation at the U.S. Army’s National Training Center (NTC) in Fort Irwin, California — one of America’s premier combat training facilities.
More than 130 Saudi soldiers took part in the intensive exercises, using 12 M1 Abrams tanks and 6 M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, which were transported directly from the Kingdom.
U.S. CENTCOM Commander General Cooper stated:
“Saudi Arabia is a key pillar of security and stability in the Middle East. Our defense ties are stronger than ever.”
The RSLF’s participation in the NTC program marks a significant precedent, highlighting the deepening military cooperation between Saudi Arabia and the United States and supporting the modernization of the Kingdom’s armed forces.
