The scenario of the exercise is based on a supposed amphibious enemy movement with the aim to occupy an area of the northern Mediterranean coast. The units of all five countries coordinate and react accordingly.
The exercise coincides with the completion of a five-year period since it began to be carried out jointly with Greece and Egypt, with Cyprus, France and the United Arab Emirates taking part this year.
According to the organizers, the joint aeronautical exercise aims to strengthen maritime safety in the Mediterranean Sea.
For this purpose, asymmetric threat drills, real fire drills, casualty drills, maritime communications drills, amphibious operations as well as search and rescue drills are carried out.
Cyprus participates with the offshore ship “Ioannidis”, with 36 military personnel.
