#3 I have been asking (without success) about activity at what used to be called (and perhaps still is) the Al Jaber Air Force Base. Can someone help?

#4 Very little USAF presence if any. USAF presence in Kuwait is at Al Jaber Air Force Base, 386th Air Expeditionary Wing, along with RAF British presence.
