U.S. Military and Lebanese Army Conclude Joint Military Exercise
The U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Army on Wednesday concluded Resolute Response 2016, an annual, bilateral military exercise with the Lebanese army involving explosive ordnance disposal, diving exercises, and maritime vessel visit, board, search and seizure procedures, the U.S. Embassy said.
The exercise ran from August 8-17 at the Jounieh Naval Base and included both land and sea-based exercises.
Resolute Response is one of more than 60 military exercises conducted by U.S. Central Command with partner nations each year.
The exercise provided an opportunity for U.S. military subject matter experts to “share information and best practices with their Lebanese counterparts in order to increase soldiers’ proficiency in these areas,” the U.S. Embassy said in a statement.
“It is another example of America’s continuing partnership with Lebanon, and our commitment to building the LAF’s readiness and capabilities as it protects Lebanon’s borders from extremist threats,” it added.

lets the spying and terror cell , the american embassy, dedicate on what they know to do better, recruiting agents to gather info and launch assassinations throughout Lebanon with mossad aid...
btw: Syria won't last much to be cleared from the terrorirsts, then the resistance, the people and the army will have control over Lebanon... thus this "embassy" will have little to do.
