KUWAIT, Jan 6 (KUNA) -- The US Embassy will conduct a Joint Combined
Security Exercise (JSCE) in conjunction with Kuwait security forces on January
10, the embassy said in a press release on Tuesday.
It added that the JSCE will also include the 26th Marine Expeditionary
Unit, the US Army Central Command (ARCENT), US Marine Corps Fleet
Anti-Terrorism Security Team (FAST), and the US Department of State Diplomatic
Security Service.
"JSCE will be an expansion on an already scheduled annual bilateral
exercise. It will also serve as an opportunity for Kuwaiti and US security
personnel to build on an already close working relationship," the statement
said.
The exercise will take place on the US Embassy compound, and will feature
simulated events, which will occur in virtually real time.
The embassy cautioned individuals residing near the compound that they
might hear loud noises, gunshots, and explosions on the day of the event,
urging them to remain calm and to remember that the noises were originating
from the exercise. (end)
