According to a video teaser released by the Armed Forces spokesperson, the 19th edition of the exercise will be held on Egyptian soil and is expected to be one of the largest military drills in the Middle East.
This year’s exercise will involve 43 countries, with 13 participating directly through more than 7,900 soldiers and 30 others joining as observers.
First launched in 1980 as a bilateral US–Egypt drill, Bright Star has since developed into a multinational exercise aimed at bolstering regional security, strengthening military cooperation, and improving interoperability among partner forces.
It is also one of the longest-running exercises in the US Central Command’s area of responsibility.
