The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces the launch of Exercise "Silver Falcon 23" in the territory of the Republic of Cyprus, which will take place from 6-24 February 2023.
The Exercise is conducted in cooperation with the U.S. European Command (USEUCOM), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus and the National Guard.
Silver Falcon 23 is taking place in the context of the excellent bilateral relations between the Republic of Cyprus and the United States and, among other things, aims to test the procedures to be followed in the event of a crisis in the region, including support for humanitarian civilian evacuation operations through the territory of the Republic of Cyprus as well as the interoperability of the armed forces of the two states in the event of a crisis.
In this context, the Cyprus-US Armed Forces are given the opportunity to train and gain valuable experience in a mutually beneficial context. During the exercise, a small number of USEUCOM personnel will temporarily reside at various locations in the Republic of Cyprus for the purposes of the exercise.
Exercise Silver Falcon 23 is another pillar of the strategic relationship between the United States and the Republic of Cyprus and contributes to the joint effort to build conditions of peace, security and stability in the region.
