Biggest U.S.-Israel War Games Ever Are Underway
Citat:“Juniper Oak is a Combined Joint All-Domain exercise which improves our interoperability on land, in the air, at sea, in space, and in cyberspace with our partners, enhances our ability to respond to contingencies, and underscores our commitment to the Middle East,” said Gen. Michael ‘Erik’ Kurilla, commander of CENTCOM, in a press release. CENTCOM’s area of responsibility (AOR) broadly encompasses the Middle East, parts of Central and South Asia, and North Africa.
Held in Israel and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Juniper Oak 23.2 will involve over 6,400 U.S. and more than 1,100 Israeli personnel, including special operations and infantry forces. The exercise, which will include live-fire drills, is set to employ 142 aircraft (100 of which are American), a dozen naval vessels, 180,000 pounds of live munitions, and a number of artillery systems. Only High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) were listed explicitly as being among the artillery that will be used.
