TABUK — The Royal Saudi Land Forces (RSLF) and the US Army Ground Forces (AGF) kicked off on Thursday the joint exercise, dubbed the Falcon Claws 3. The exercise, which is taking place in the northern region of the Kingdom, aims to strengthen military relations between the two countries and exchanging expertise and concepts, in addition to raising combat readiness to face external threats. The Saudi and US ground forces carried out the two-week Falcon Claws 2 exercise in December last year. — SG
