Egyptian Army Lt. Col. Mahmoud Eldeeb shakes hands Illinois Army National Guard Brig. Gen. Jorge Fonseca while sporting a brand-new Chicago Cubs hat presented to him by his American counterparts on Sept. 10 at Mohamed Naguib Military Base, Egypt. Fonseca grew up in Chicago. American service members and their Egyptian counterparts held a gift-giving exchange to celebrate the conclusion of the Bright Star 25 Command Post Exercise. Bright Star 25 brought 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.
