Saudi Arabia Armed Forces Training with U.S. Military in Saudi Arab

Saudi Arabia and the U.S. are strategic allies. Bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States began in 1933 when full diplomatic relations were established and became formalized in the 1951 Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement.

The United States and Saudi Arabia have a longstanding security relationship. Saudi Arabia is the United States’ largest foreign military sales (FMS) customer, with more than $100 billion in active FMS cases. Through FMS, the United States has supported three key security assistance organizations in Saudi Arabia—the Ministry of Defense, the National Guard, and the Ministry of Interior. Since the 1950s, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has also played a vital role in military and civilian construction in Saudi Arabia.

In this video, U.S. Marines assigned to the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and Royal Saudi Naval Forces conduct bi-lateral training at Jazirat al Ghurab Island, Saudi Arabia, during exercise Indigo Defender 21, Oct. 19-21. Indigo Defender 21 is a capstone bilateral maritime exercise between Royal Saudi Naval Forces and U.S. Naval Forces Central Command to enhance interoperability and strengthen our capacity to maintain regional maritime security and stability.
