US completes pre-positioning in Kuwait

Abu Dhabi [MENL] -- The United States has completed the pre-positioning of main battle tanks and combat vehicles in Kuwait to prepare for any confrontation with Iraq.

U.S. defense officials said the military resupply in the sheikdom took place over the last month. They said the effort was overseen by the U.S. Army, which maintains about 4,000 soldiers in Kuwait.

The U.S. Army, the officials said, brought an undisclosed number of M1A2 Abrams tanks, M2A2 Bradleys and a range of other combat vehicles. The pre-positioning effort was taken by Task Force 1-34, which is leaving the sheikdom after a four month tour. The task force is composed of 1,500 soldiers and personnel.

The task force also trained Kuwaiti Army troops. Last week, U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Eric K. Shinseki visited Kuwait and inspected the U.S. war stocks.
