Yes. Basing rights in Manama. Due to Islamic host, our personnel are restricted to dockside for shore leave. I think they set up USO stuff and bring some hooch in and keep 'em safe there, not at risk in the general population. The country is one of the few friendly to us in the region, and it is strategically located for us to make maximum use as a port facility. Now this crap. I am guessing our presence there has been minimized and security beefed just to keep logistics flowing. I am guessing we are using helo's to transport needed materials to the fleet or going the long route via Diego Garcia and supply ships.
ETA - Kuwait is probably being utilized as well. And the Saudi's are probably letting us use their airspace as needed too.
