15,000 American forces stationed in Kuwait: Senate account 20 Jun 2012 A US Senate report indicates that the United States has now nearly 15,000 troops in three bases across Kuwait - triple the average number of American forces in the Middle East country before the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee released the report on Tuesday, considering how to promote the US interests in the Persian Gulf region after the American forces left Iraq last year. According to the report, having the military bases throughout the region is a "lily pad" model to allow for a rapid escalation of military forces.
