US deploys 15,000 troops to Kuwait as tensions with Iran increase
The US Department of Defence have deployed 15,000 troops to the Middle Eastern state of Kuwait as tensions with Iran escalate over US and EU sanctions in response to Iran’s defiance to halt its nuclear programme, which claimed to have produced its first nuclear fuel rod earlier this month. On Monday the EU passed a ban on Iranian oil exports following similar action by the US on Iran’s oil and Central Bank.


Yeah this is gonna end so well...

The majority of those troops actually redeployed from Iraq. After a bit of time, there will be rotations of units, much like what happened after the first Gulf War, Bosnia and Kosovo.

If a additional 15,000 troops were to be deployed, it is still not enough to invade Iran. But the ratio of support troops to combat troops in te US Military is roughly 4 to 1, so they have the infrastrutre in place anyways.

I totally agree. Start the rotations now, if anything else, so you have rested troops in theater if the SHTF.

Back in the nineties, rotations averaged between 6-9 months and we fell in on pre-positioned equipment so logistics wasn’t a biggie. Any longer than that and apathy sets in as there is only so much training you can do in Kuwait.
