EGYPT - Egyptian and American colleagues pose for a group photo behind Egyptian Army Lt. Col. Mahmoud Eldeeb’s birthday cake. Eldeeb’s friends in the Illinois Army National Guard surprised him with a birthday cake and sang him “Happy Birthday” in Arabic on Sept. 6 during Bright Star 25’s Command Post Exercise (CPX) at Mohamed Naguib Military Base, Egypt. The exercise brings together forces from across the globe, underscoring the United States' enduring commitment to working alongside Egypt and partner nations to strengthen collective security and promote regional stability.
