47th anniversary of the Unification of the UAE Armed Forces

Gen. John ‘Mick’ Nicholson (U.S. Army Ret.), chief executive for Lockheed Martin’s Middle East.

“On behalf of Lockheed Martin, we congratulate the UAE on its 47th Armed Forces Unification Day. The UAE’s foresight in maintaining stability and security is remarkable, and we remain committed to providing the nation with the latest capabilities and technologies to deliver on its vision to promote regional prosperity. As an American Soldier, I have a great deal of respect for the UAE Armed Forces, having personally witnessed their courage and professionalism in combat. We at Lockheed Martin deeply appreciate all that the UAE has done on behalf of the region, and for our shared U.S.-UAE security interests, and greatly value the relationships and trust Lockheed Martin has built over the past decades to strengthen the security capabilities of the UAE.  We look forward to working with our partners to grow that trust and build up this capacity even further.”
