Such scenarios underscore the Armed Forces' ability to address diverse threats effectively. The theme for Union Fortress 10 is "Pride and Loyalty, Pledge and Allegiance, Security and Prosperity."
Emirati women play a crucial role in national defence efforts. Their involvement in counter-terrorism operations and national service is highlighted during the parade. The participation of groups like the Women's Rapid Intervention Team exemplifies their dedication to safeguarding the nation alongside their male counterparts.
Union Fortress 10 will take place at Al Ain International Airport on Friday, 13th December. This event will feature a joint military parade by various formations within the Armed Forces, showcasing their high readiness levels and precise coordination.
