THE Ministry of Defence of the UAE will host the 10th edition of the prestigious “Union Fortress 10” military parade, scheduled for December 14 at Al Ain International Airport in Al Ain City. Under the theme “Pride and Loyalty, Pledge and Allegiance, Security and Prosperity,” the event will showcase the strength and dedication of the UAE Armed Forces.
“Union Fortress 10” aims to highlight the professionalism, efficiency, and sacrifices of the UAE Armed Forces in tackling potential challenges and safeguarding the nation’s security. The parade will feature a joint display by various military units, demonstrating their high coordination and readiness. Additionally, live field exercises will showcase the advanced combat capabilities of the armed forces, emphasising their ability to conduct rapid intervention operations and defend the nation effectively. Since its inaugural edition on the Abu Dhabi Corniche in March 2017, “Union Fortress” has become an iconic event.
The parade has evolved and been hosted across different emirates, including Sharjah, Al Ain, Fujairah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Qaiwain, Dubai, and Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. With each edition, the event has grown in significance, further cementing its role in celebrating the UAE’s military achievements. The organising committee has invited the public to attend the live parade at Al Ain International Airport and share in the pride of the UAE Armed Forces’ exceptional capabilities.
