The IDF has begun to prepare for a massive joint Israel-US air defense exercise in March, in which some 2,500 US troops will participate.

The IDF’s preparations include the extensive deployment of forces across the country and initial drills, in anticipation of the largest IDF and USEUCOM (US European Command) joint exercise taking place this year, “Juniper Cobra 2018.”

“Juniper Cobra,” is a US-Israel military drill, which occurs every two years and tests the nations’ joint response to rocket attacks.
