Before MakeInEmirates showed up as the name of our network, it was Army49 to mark Military Union Day (or Armed Forces Unification Day) which is celebrated on May 6.

On May 6, 1976, the UAE made the decision for the nation to unify armed forces. And this year it marks the 49th year of the decision.
