It is a tremendous military force on land, at sea and in the air, which is connected with the various regional and international variables, thus strengthening the Egyptian Armed Forces position in the world military strength rankings.
The base is located on the Red Sea coast near the southern international border, east of the city of Aswan. It extends over 150 thousand feddans and includes naval and air bases, military hospital several combat and administrative units, shooting ranges and training fields for all weapons. The base also includes a trade berth, a passenger terminal, multi-purpose berths and others for storing general merchandise, container yards as well as Bernice International Airport and a seawater desalination plant.

Another goal is securing global navigation traffic through the axis of movement from the Red Sea to the Suez Canal and the associated economic areas, within Egypt 2030 vision.
