Ayamak Sa'idah, Ramadan Mubarak! In preparation for Ramadan, AASAB partnered with @USEmbassyQ8 to host Dr. Ali Alkandari, an Arabic and Islamic Studies expert. Cultural briefings like these deepen our understanding and respect for our Host Nation while enriching our partnership.

Command your mindset at AASAB! Dr. @jannellmacaulay a critically acclaimed #strategic health and #humanperformance specialist, provided #Airmen with guidance on how to command their mindset and better their mental health.

Practice how you play, especially in the field, or in this case, the sand! At Udairi Range, several @USArmy Medics teamed up with a UH-60 #Blackhawk to train on loading procedures. @USAFCENT @CENTCOM @US_TRANSCOM

Italian, Canadian & American military members came together to practice their shared beliefs & maintain their spiritual fitness. Events like these create a sense of commonality among our multinational joint force, increasing understanding & bolstering warfighter spirit.🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇺🇸

AASAB recently conducted an exercise to build critical skill sets for real-world scenarios. Exercises allow us the ability to work through stressful situations in a controlled environment. Check out the full photo album at tinyurl.com/yfsczxdz @USAFCENT @CENTCOM @aircombatcmd

The U.S. and #Kuwait share a meaningful history of security cooperation and understanding as they work together to ensure regional security. For this reason and many others, we're proud to celebrate our host nation's 62nd #NationalDay!

@JTF_FOI_Impact Coalition Partners got to see how much bite our #military working dogs pack during a demonstration last week. The MWDs at AASAB are dual purpose detection & patrol dogs, and AASAB is the largest hub for sending MWDs in and out of @CENTCOM area of responsibility.

Projecting decisive combat power is all in a day’s work for the Marauders here at Ali Al Salem, and @aircombatcmd's @ACC_Commander experienced it firsthand! As the @CENTCOM theatre gateway, the wing is at the heart of operations and warfighter support in the AOR.

#Airmen from 386th ECONS, #Soldiers from the 408th Contracting Support Brigade & coalition partners attended several conferences with local vendors offering insight into how contracting with the U.S. military works. This is #partnership in action. bit.ly/3xmAYkH 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇰🇼🇮🇹
