Joint Defence Agreement Uk Oman

After its construction by Babcock International, the UKJLSB was officially inaugurated in October 2018 and was used during Exercise Saif Sareea 3, the largest British military exercise in the region for more than 15 years. [7] The base is large enough to accommodate the Royal Navy`s nuclear submarines and the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, which will use the facility from 2021. [7] Dry dock facilities large enough to accommodate aircraft carriers are also available. [8] As a common base, it is controlled by Strategic Command (formerly Joint Forces Command) and is currently leased for 37 years. [9] [10] The JDA follows the culmination of Exercise Saif Sareea 3 in Oman in October and November 2018. It was the largest British army exercise since Saif Sareea 2, 17 years earlier, when 5,500 soldiers travelled to Oman to show off their land, air and sea capabilities. The JDA provides a launching pad for deeper defence cooperation, with the two nations working together to develop capabilities and promote regional stability. This is followed by the opening of the UK Joint Logistics Assistance Base in the port city of Duqm, which opened last year, and the announcement of a new joint military training ground, which is expected to open this year in Oman. In another case, Minister Wallace followed in Prince William`s most recent footsteps by visiting the Musandam Peninsula and the Comeomic Naval Base on Goat Island, overlooking the disputed Ormuz Highway. A prosaic explanation of this detour could simply be the spectacular landscape of the peninsula. But she was more likely to show solidarity with Oman`s commitment to clinging to Musandam. Separated from the rest of Oman by uae territory and traditionally coveted by the emirate of Ras al-Khaimah, the small coastal province has recently experienced crises of tribal discontent that Muscat has countered by increased state investment.

Britain has also begun a series of joint exercises in the region with Omani troops using the rugged Terrain of Musandam to train in mountain warfare techniques. READ: Oman prepares for joint military exercise with UK The Omani-British Joint Training Area is a training area created in 2019 for joint military training between Oman and the UK. [2] The agreement was based on the commitment of the two countries to jointly defend their security and stability, their support for each other`s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the development of military relations, the Omani Ministry of Defence said. On a trip to the Middle East in September 2020, British Defence Minister Ben Wallace announced that the size of the UKJLSB would be tripled after an investment of 23.8 million pounds to better facilitate the training of the British Army. [8] [11] [10] Another facility, a joint training ground, was set up in 2019 at the nearby Ras Madrakah training ground, the Omani-British Joint Training Area. [12] The ministry also described the visit as a « renewal » of a « relationship of great value, » although the two countries signed a new joint defence agreement in February 2019.
