Hegseth announces Qatar will build air force facility at U.S. base in Idaho
The move is a sign of increasingly close ties between the U.S. and Qatar.www.cbsnews.com
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday announced a finalized agreement that will allow the Qatari Emiri Air Force to build a facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho.
The agreement, which Hegseth announced alongside Qatari Minister of Defense Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the Pentagon, will allow Qatari pilots to receive training alongside U.S. soldiers. There are no foreign military bases in the U.S., but some foreign militaries do maintain a presence for training. The Singaporean Air Force also has a presence at the Mountain Home base.
Yeah, I'm not sure about this. For a bunch of reasons.
It's nothing new. When I was in the navy in the 1980's the Saudis had their own barracks at several bases I was at.
