DM Barak visits Austere Challenge 12 Exercise on Mt. Eitan


Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Tuesday, praised the outstanding coordination between American and Israeli forces during the ongoing Austere Challenge 12 exercise.

“We highly appreciate the opportunity to conduct this exercise, coordinating and bringing together Israeli forces and American forces operating Patriot and Arrow systems as well as Aegis vessels. [Likewise we appreciate the opportunity] to coordinate the command and control centers which will assure that if and when a real test arises, we will be much better deployed and even better prepared to work together and join hands in order to protect Israel against missile attacks.

“We appreciate that young American soldiers have come here to once again join hands with young Israeli soldiers; a real expression of the depth of the relationship and commitment between our nations and our governments.

“Thank you very much”.
