KUWAIT: The Kuwait Army carried out a joint field exercise in cooperation with the Kuwait Fire Force (KFF) at Abdullah Al-Mubarak Air Base, aiming to enhance readiness and strengthen field coordination among participating entities.

In a press statement, the Army’s General Staff said on Wednesday that the drill aimed to unify operational concepts in handling emergency situations according to the highest safety and response standards.

The exercise comes as part of implementing the cooperation protocol signed between the Kuwait Army and KFF, which aims to establish the foundations of joint work and unify efforts under a single national framework in line with the state’s vision to promote integration between military and civilian entities.

The statement explained that the exercise included the execution of several virtual scenarios and simulated reports to mimic various types of emergencies.
