U.S. Army soldiers joined forces with Kuwait's Amiri Guard for training exercises in the country, the U.S. Army announced.

The exercises focuses on urban assault tactics, with an added emphasis on interoperability and readiness during combat. Units were partnered to work on building and maintaining a joint response force. First Lt. James Greene, a platoon leader with 1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment and 3/4 Armored Brigade Combat Team said it was important for the two forces to work together.

"You never know where or what our next battle will be, and when we strengthen our strategic partners we strengthen the regional security," Greene said in a statement. "Knowing their tactics, techniques and procedures allows us to integrate better with them if we fight alongside them."

The training involved assaulting a building, and clearing each room within it. Amiri Guard snipers were tasked with rushing into a combat zone and engaging targets downrange.

The United States maintains a strong military alliance with Kuwait, with the country designated as a major non-NATO ally.
