Summary
The Pentagon is quietly overhauling its Gulf military strategy as Iranian missile and drone strikes expose the deadly vulnerability of its major bases. Once seen as essential for rapid response and regional stability, these installations are now prime targets — forcing defense leaders to consider dispersing forces, relocating command centers, and even pulling back from key locations like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. While spreading out troops could make them harder to hit, it risks slowing down crisis response. The military is exploring bold moves — including potential bases in Israel and underground command hubs — to strike a balance between security and operational readiness, all while maintaining a critical presence to deter threats and support allies.
