The report comes after the US and Israel participated in a bilateral military exercise in February.
The exercise, Juniper Cobra, was designed to improve the cooperation and coordination between the US European Command (USEUCOM) and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The exercise scenario that the two trained on was a simulation on ballistic missile defenses.
