The joint Bright Star 2021 military training concluded activities on Friday at Mohamed Naguib Military Base on the Mediterranean Sea. Bright Star first began in October 1980, as a result of the US-brokered peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. The training’s final stage included tactical shooting with live ammunition, reconnaissance, and aerial bombardment. The forces also carried out a Situational Training Exercise (STX), which included training against snipers, drones, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), as well as medical evacuation and treatment and Command Post Exercises (CPX). Furthermore, there was atypical threat training training on how to board and inspect a suspicious ship for naval units, paratroop trainings, shooting practice, and a leadership symposium.
