The joint defense system of the Cooperation Council

The approval of their Majesties and Highnesses, the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council states, in the thirtieth session of the Supreme Council (Kuwait, December 2009) on the defense strategy of the Cooperation Council for the Arab Gulf States was an important achievement and an essential step on the road to building the joint defense system of the Cooperation Council. The strategy has defined a clear vision through which the GCC states work to coordinate and enhance their integration and interdependence and develop their capabilities to defend their sovereignty, stability and interests, deter aggression and cooperate to face challenges, crises and disasters through self-construction and joint action to reach the desired defense integration. The strategy also emphasized the foundations and constants from which it starts, and defined the strategic defensive objectives, methods and means of achieving them, in addition to stressing the importance of conducting a comprehensive strategic assessment of the strategic security environment, and the strategic threats, challenges and risks periodically.

The Peninsula Shield Forces

The existence of joint military forces of the GCC countries is one of the important foundations for establishing a joint defense system aimed at providing security to protect the GCC states, defend their independence and protect their capabilities and gains. In 1982 AD, the first important steps were to form the joint military forces of the Cooperation Council states, where a decision was issued to establish the Peninsula Shield Force, and this decision was followed by the issuance of many decisions to develop this force, commensurate with the changes in the security environment, the sources and types of challenges, risks, and threats. The countries of the Cooperation Council may face, to become the size of a mechanized infantry division with its full combat and administrative support. Then, in 2006 AD, it was developed into the Joint Peninsula Shield Forces, and it was reinforced by a sea and air effort in accordance with operational concepts, in order to raise its combat efficiency, in order to ensure that the tasks of reinforcement and support for the national armed forces of the countries of the Cooperation Council are fully implemented. In 2009, the Combined Peninsula Shield Forces were reinforced with a rapid reaction force. And in the thirty-fourth session of the Supreme Council (Kuwait, December 2013), The Joint Peninsula Shield Forces command was developed to be the unified ground command of the unified military command of the Cooperation Council, and to be called "Command of the Peninsula Shield Forces". Work is also underway to complete its salaries of manpower and armament.

The unified military leadership of the GCC countries

Given the importance of a unified military command of the GCC states, which is concerned with planning and managing joint military operations, and supporting and strengthening the defense capabilities of the GCC countries, to defend their lands, airspace and waters, and to confront potential threats to the GCC states and their interests, within the framework of the joint defense agreement, the Supreme Council decided In its thirty-fourth session (Kuwait, December 2013 AD), the unified military command of the GCC countries was established, according to the detailed study submitted by the Joint Defense Council. The decisions of the Joint Defense Council related to the establishment and activation of this command were approved.

Unified Naval Operations Center

n order to achieve the main objectives of the Cooperation Council in coordination, integration and interdependence between the GCC states in all fields, including cooperation and coordination in the fields of security and maritime defense to enhance and develop their military and defense capabilities in a manner that preserves the security, stability and sovereignty of the GCC states, the Supreme Council blessed its thirty-fifth session (Doha, December 2014) the decision of their Highnesses and Excellencies the Defense Ministers of the GCC countries in the thirteenth session, 11 and 12 November 2014, to establish a unified maritime operations center, provided that the headquarters of the center is in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The center was inaugurated on February 4, 2016 AD under the generous patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and with the participation of their Excellencies and Excellencies Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces of the GCC countries.

Defense integration

Harnessing comprehensive capabilities and working to coordinate, develop and integrate them as collective capabilities to face various current or future challenges, risks and threats is one of the most important strategic goals that the Cooperation Council has paid great attention to achieving since its inception. The armed forces of the GCC countries have taken concrete steps towards achieving military integration and its requirements, through the signing of the joint defense agreement of the Cooperation Council at the twenty-first session of the Supreme Council (Manama, December 2000), the development of the defense strategy of the Cooperation Council for the Arab Gulf States, and the setting of the timetable for completing and activating the fields of Joint military action, laying the foundations, rules, building blocks and main components of it, setting priorities, unifying concepts, and making mutual use of the available capabilities and capabilities.

In the thirty-fourth session of the Supreme Council of the Cooperation Council (Kuwait, December 2013 AD), the signs and manifestations of the beginning of the phase of defense integration were clearly marked by the establishment of the unified military leadership of the GCC countries, the establishment of the Gulf Academy for Strategic and Security Studies for the GCC countries in Abu Dhabi, as well as with the approval of the Joint Defense Council in its twelfth session (Kingdom of Bahrain, December 2013 AD) on the axes of defense integration for the GCC countries. There is no doubt that these decisions have made significant gains for joint military action, supported and strengthened the achievements that were made over three decades, and also made important progress on the road to building an integrated defense system among the GCC states.

It is a formidble fortress. You have 65 million population in GCC and the richest country in the world. Their armies joint are formidble they have the latest tech and overlapped by strategetic allies in Egypt (100m+) and Sudan (50m+) and they can both arrive in their location quickly to form an impenetrable shield in the middle and in the north you got Jordan (10m+) and Yemen as Proxy. Without adding another 120m+ reserves in the Maghreb.

But as for these who can deploy immediately in rapid response are the following Jordan, Egypt and Sudan they can get there in no time. It brings the total rapid response team upto 225m discounting reserves..

GCC alone has like over 100bn defense budget with majority of the population being young who seek to form a new future for themselves

Lots of fancy words and administrative jargon. GCC's only potential foes are Iran and the west. Iran due to its own version of (shia) returns of medhi ideology. West due to historical events and enmity toward Muslims. Now Isreal is not a threat to GCC, it's just an outpost, as once explained to me by my Commander. I do not see Iranian able to challenge GCC in direct confrontation. I also do not see GGC able to confront US presence or Israeli dominance in the region, since every tool, tactic, and military hardware GCC has is western made. US knows inside out of the GCC.

You don't seem to understand that the GCC is United.. against whom or for what, is relevant to them only..nothing fancy about this.. just your words..

I think you are really overestimating the capabilities. When 3 Arabs states could not coordinate during Arab Isreal wars, You expect Black, Brown, and white Arabic speakers (not really Arabs) from 3 different regions to get along and fight as a team. Guy riding a Bentley to suddenly start stand 12 hours guard post with guy riding a camel, week on week in the burning desert. $100 billion budget do no good when your military hardware supplier is your potential foe.

Of course, GCC is not stupid, they know their reliance and limitation on western technology. otherwise, they would have challenged US presence and Israeli dominance in the region.

 

[Meengla]

A non-sense topic.
Just like the American almost $4 billion in 'aid' per year to Israel is basically 'corporate welfare' to keep some thousands Americans employed, the GCC military and their capabilities are also 'corporate welfare' to keep some thousands Americans employed. Israel gets to keep expanding while the insecure monarchies in GCC get to keep ruling.

The nature of war has changed--as was demonstrated by Hezbollah against Israel in 2006 and as North Korea could demonstrate against any strike against NK by pulverizing the South Korea and shutting down the enemy's economy.

Richer countries like South Korea or Israel simply can't afford to be shut down for weeks or months or the long term flight of capital and investors' confidence because of dispersed cheaper mobile projectiles and rockets sustained for a long time or be under the threat of that, 'Iron Drone' or not.

You sound more like the groupies who have been posting here for long time Isreal has zero dominance in the region but it is confined to it's corner and can't project iself outside of it's boundry territories, They don't have the manpower for that.. your commander was right all along an outpost sounds quite spot on in your first post.. But other then that is highly incorrectly and far from reality

As long as they can carry out Airstrikes and covert operations in the region at will, they are dominant. They showed their capabilities when and as needed. The US is the grantor of this dominance, it's official govt policy.

You are overdoing it now? Against who? Some ragtags in Syria? this is the example of what I was talking about. I am glad I ran into you. Not against relevant state actors tho.

Everyone can carry out strikes in the region and has done so in the last 10 years or so. Dominance is someone who can project themselves outside the region and actully does that either militarily or influence.. Like Turkey, USA or Russia in regards to the region. There are technically no other players who are assertive outside of Saudi arabia who is in Yemen. I am not talking about supporting proxies covertly or with finance or whatever but direct military takeovers. The only 3 countries who have done that since the turn of the century are 3 countries in the region. Turkey, KSA and UAE that is projection of power meaning you have to have the ability to take a land and hold it but I will strike the border regions at night and return back that is not projection but that is called self-defense action.

Israel doesn't have tha capacity nor the manpower to project itself outside of it's boundry? Do you think Israel could hold one Iraqi city? for hours? PMU could run thru them in no time and they could be depleted since they don't have the manpower to resupply from continuiously or against vs Taliban their entire amry could vanish like in a black hole? They can't because they don't have the manpower or resources for that kind of thing. They are mainly confined in it's territory,

Also it is more taxing to keep holding onto territories nowadays then it was decades ago because all the rebels have grown capabilities by default since the world development is increasing this is also effecting the rebels and terrorists in a positive light they are much stronger now logistically then they were 20 years ago
