Naval Support Activity Bahrain following a series of precision Iranian missile and drone strikes. The saturation attacks targeted critical command-and-control infrastructure, rendering parts of the US Fifth Fleet headquarters unusable and disabling vital satellite communications terminals. With an estimated 400 million dollars in infrastructure recovery costs and the additional loss of a high-value E-3 Sentry AWACS, the defense sector is tracking a significant shift in Pentagon strategic basing doctrine away from vulnerable Gulf hubs.

Expert Insight:
