Tonight, I underscored the importance of the longstanding strategic defense relationship between our nation and the Arab Republic of Egypt at a celebration of Egypt Armed Forces Day here.
Egypt and the Texas National Guard established a security cooperation partnership last year under the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) National Guard State Partnership Program, and Texas Guardsmen will participate in Bright Star 2023, a major Egyptian military training event boosting readiness and increasing the ability of the personnel and equipment of our respective armed forces to work together seamlessly.
More than 12,000 Guardsmen have deployed to the Multinational Force and Observers on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula since 2002.
It was a privilege to represent the National Guard at tonight's event.

Our Command Team, recognized three of our most creative Soldiers this week for stepping up and volunteering to design and produce one of the most exceptional displays of unit pride that we’ve seen during this mobilization. SPC Jaqueline Rivera, SPC Jessica Rogers and SPC Patrick Anderson spent countless hours of their own time creating this lasting piece of the Phoenix legacy that we will leave behind upon our return home. This is significant because this is the last rotation that units will be authorized to paint these concrete “T-wall” barriers in order to show pride in their respective unit. Thanks to these Soldiers, Task Force Phoenix will not soon be forgotten. Fantastic job, Phoenix Soldiers!
