Celebrating Unity and Strength Under the Patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan
Abu Dhabi: In an outstanding demonstration of collaboration and national strength, the UAE is set to host the highly anticipated 'Union Fortress 10' military parade.

This spectacle, expected to captivate 26,000 attendees, symbolizes the enduring unity between the Ministry of Defence and a myriad of federal and local entities across the UAE.

Since its inception at the Abu Dhabi Corniche in March 2017, 'Union Fortress' has journeyed across the emirates, showcasing the synchronized efforts of national institutions.

Now in its 10th iteration, the event retains the fervor and excellence that have become its hallmark.

This year's parade, held under the esteemed patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, embraces the theme 'Pride and Loyalty, Pledge and Allegiance, Security and Prosperity.' It will gather 45 governmental, semi-governmental, and private sector entities, alongside the Ministry of Defence, at Al Ain city on December 13.

The venue, Al Ain International Airport, has been meticulously prepared to facilitate this grand affair.

It will host key forces, including the Land Force, Air Force and Air Defence, Presidential Guard, Joint Aviation, National Guard, and Abu Dhabi Police, all converging to reaffirm their collective commitment to national security and stability.

This cooperative endeavor underscores the UAE's dedication to fostering a unified vision and highlights the professionalism resonant within its Armed Forces.

Beyond the main event, 'Union Fortress 10' will also engage families and the general populace through an entertainment village.

Open from 10am to 10pm, the village will feature ample activities designed to inform and entertain, providing a glimpse into the crucial role the Armed Forces play in the nation's continuous journey towards progress and prosperity.

The Organising Committee, through this monumental event, aims to deepen national pride and create meaningful connections with the community.
