The exercise program included training activities, which provided a practical and substantial opportunity for the crews to utilize the operational capabilities of the air and naval means. Specifically, after the warships unification, Surface Fire with Arms of various calibers of the Warships, Formations, Tactical Movements and Progressive Maneuvers as well as Communication drills were executed.
In addition, an aeronautical cooperation scenario took place between the AW-139 helicopter of the Air Force Command and the Egyptian ENS “SAGM SHABAB MISR” corvette examining scenarios that included, inter alia, medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) from an open sea vessel.
