U.S. to Send 5 000 Troops to Kuwait and F 16s to Saudi Arabia
The Clinton administration announced a weekend deployment of 5,000 U.S. Army troops to Kuwait and 18 F 16C fighters to Saudi Arabia as part of a broader military buildup aimed at pressuring Iraq’s Saddam Hussein to comply with post Gulf War restrictions. Defense Secretary Perry will visit Europe and the Middle East to rally allied support amid cautious signals from Baghdad and a slowed hawkish tone. The 3rd Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division from Fort Hood will participate, equipped with tanks and Bradley vehicles, amid uncertain duration and use once potential strikes proceed.
