The Royal Army of Oman (RAO) will take part in the Joint Omani-Italian Joint Exercise (Jebal Shams 2), which will be held in Italy from June 16 to 28, 2019.

The Omani force, represented by elements of RAO Musandam Security Force Sector, left here today heading to the friendly Italian Republic to participate in the exercise’s activities.
 

The force was seen off by Brigadier Naseer bin Nasser Al Jamoudi, Commander of RAO Musandam Sector and senior officers.

The participating force left on board of an aircraft of the Royal Air Force of Oman from Al Musanah Air Base. Such exercises aim to share expertise, activate joint training and exercise plans as part of the training plan pursued by the RAO to maintain high levels of performance, training and combat efficiency among the RAO personnel.
