The exercise affords 29 partner nations the opportunity to address the regional challenges associated with asymmetric/unconventional warfare in a multi-national environment.

This is the Government of Kuwait’s first time hosting Eagle Resolve; which is the premiere Arabian Peninsula/Gulf Region exercise between the United States, Gulf Cooperation Council nations and other international partners.
