Speaking on the sidelines of the military exercise dubbed, “Gulf Wall” in Qatar, the Kuwaiti army’s Deputy Chief of Staff described the drill as “significant” to further qualify the cadets and enhance their military experience through practicing what they have studied at the Academy. “What we have seen today, in terms of skill and performance, is a remarkable accomplishment,” he said, adding that he is hopeful that similar exercises will be held.
