HAZOR AIR BASE, Israel ― More than 2,500 U.S. troops have taken part in the Juniper Cobra joint exercise with Israeli Defense Forces, which concludes Thursday.
This year’s event served as a dress rehearsal for a joint response to an Iranian missile attack on Israel. Contingency plans could be activated at any moment, with U.S. forces arriving in Israel from Europe, officers from both countries explained.
“It depends on the scenario at some point, but we will have fighting forces moving within 72 hours,” Lt. Gen. Richard Clark, commander of 3rd Air Force, told reporters here. “We can phase in our forces as required, but almost immediately, we can start moving forces.”
