 Iron Union 14 was a week-long bilateral training exercise that gave a U.S. Army unit and the UAE land forces the opportunity to work together and test their ability to accomplish any mission. Task Force Spartan Commander, Major General Patrick Hamilton said in a statement, our mission is to deter destabilizing influences and aggression in the region. The best way that we, as Task Force Spartan, can deter aggression by those actors is to continue to train together, help build partner capacity and support our regional partners whenever possible. This exercise accomplished that. Lieutenant Colonel Brian Bonema, Commander of 1-6 Infantry Regiment said, the exercise was a great success and his unit learned a lot about themselves and our partners. We were able to increase our training capacity and capabilities. Additionally, we realized that security must be earned and it's earned through hard work when we're able to put that hard work in during this exercise. The week-long exercise consisted of a tactical movement to an enemy location, then reaching a mine-wired obstacle, evaluation of a casualty and ended with a live-fire demonstration that highlighted the capabilities of the unit's equipment. General Hamilton also said he's grateful to the Emirati hosts and is extremely impressed by their professionalism and dedication as a partner in the region and he looks forward to many more opportunities in the future. Colonel Bonema said, this is an exercise both he and his soldiers will never forget. It was an exceptional experience. It was great for our soldiers to interact with another armored force within this region. We're better for it because of the relationships that we're able to build.
