and others loyal to the UAE, following directives to replace the Shield of homeland forces, "Dera al-Watan" as an alternative to the "First Support Brigade"

Sources affirmed that the so-called "Shield of homeland forces" were deployed on the outskirts of al-Anad base while waiting for Saudi forces to pressure the STC to evacuate the base.
