Texas Cyber Command and the Texas Military Department hosted a United Arab Emirates defense attaché delegation on Oct. 21 for talks on cyber readiness and sharing threat information across borders, the Army reported Nov. 9.

The visit formed part of four days of senior leader engagement. The Army said the Texas National Guard’s State Partnership Program relationship with the UAE began in May 2025 and includes a focus on cybersecurity cooperation and training.

In San Antonio, the delegation visited Texas Cyber Command and the 149th Fighter Wing to discuss air and cyber capabilities and possible future partner training, according to the Army. The Army said the engagement ended with discussions about resilient networks and developing cyber talent. Its report did not specify an agreement, a capability change or a scheduled follow-up.
