The headquarters will be run by 10 to 15 staff members deployed at the French base, who will contribute to making maritime navigation in the Gulf as safe as possible.

France and the UAE share strong ties, which led to the opening in 2009 of the first French military base outside Africa, where 700 personnel are stationed permanently.
