Pro-Saleh forces likely Republican Guard of the Yemen Army and allied Houthis forces have conducted a live fire military exercise at a undisclosed location in Yemen. The maneuver was codenamed ‘Continuing to Counter US Terrorism’ and appears to be as much of a political statement as it is a military test.
In the video, pro-Saleh forces and houthis practice their shooting skills on a ridge-line that has various targets marked with US flags. A range of basic small arms including Kalashnikov assault rifles, PKM medium machine guns and RPG-7s are used in against these objects.
Based on the footage shown, the exercise also involves the demonstration of platoon-level coordination in assaulting and capturing enemy high-ground again represented by the ridge-line with US flag-marked targets.
The exercise concludes with pro-Saleh forces scaling their way up the ridge to a sandbag fortification bearing an Israeli flag. After chatting a commonly known anti-US and anti-Israeli slogan used by pro-Saleh forces, the soldiers blow up the aforementioned fortification with explosives placed beforehand.
Pro-Saleh forces are currently engaged in a protracted war on Yemeni territory and in parts of southwestern Saudi Arabia against a range of enemies including the Hadi regime which is backed by a Saudi-led coalition, anti-US and anti-Israeli slogan on the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and the Islamic State.
