The exercises, aimed at enhancing security and coordination across the nation, are part of the “Shield of the Nation 2” operation.

This operation is designed to test the readiness and efficiency of various emergency response units and strategic partners, including the National Emergency, Crisis, and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA).

These drills serve as an important component of the UAE’s broader strategy to strengthen its defense capabilities and improve the country’s response to crises.

In its announcement, the Ministry of Interior urged the public to stay clear of the designated exercise areas during the scheduled drills. The public is advised not to take photographs of the activities, which could interfere with the operation’s security protocols.

Authorities have also emphasized the importance of allowing police units to pass through the area without obstruction to ensure the smooth execution of the exercises.

The “Shield of the Nation 2” operation includes a series of field exercises that simulate real-world security situations, testing both military and civil response strategies.

Military units, alongside helicopters, will be deployed in a series of activities meant to assess strategic coordination between various agencies involved in national security.

The exercises are expected to cover a wide range of scenarios, including urban security, disaster management, and coordination between local and federal authorities.

The UAE’s commitment to maintaining a high level of preparedness in the face of potential emergencies is reinforced through these continuous training programs.

By simulating a range of possible threats, the government aims to ensure that both military and civilian authorities are well-equipped to respond swiftly and effectively when required.

As the drills will take place across multiple locations in Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah, residents and visitors in the area are encouraged to cooperate fully with security personnel and follow any additional instructions provided by the authorities.

These exercises are essential to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens and residents in the UAE.

The MOI assured the public that the operations would be conducted with the utmost safety and coordination to avoid any disruptions to daily life.

As part of the ongoing national security efforts, the UAE continues to invest in exercises that strengthen its resilience against both natural and man-made threats.

For now, the Ministry of Interior advises the public to stay informed through official channels and adhere to all safety guidelines during the exercises, which are set to take place in the afternoon of January 21.
