As Sayliyah Army Base

U.S. Central Command used it to preposition material bound for Iraq and Afghanistan.

It was the largest U.S. Army prepositioning site in the world,[1] capable of storing enough equipment for a U.S. Army armored brigade: more than 150 M-1 Abrams tanks, 116 Bradley fighting vehicles, and 112 other armored personnel carriers.

[1][2] It was established in 2000,[3] and closed in June 2021 when its mission was moved to Area Support Group-Jordan.

[4] In 2022, it is being used as a way station or "lily pad" for housing Afghans who have been evacuated by the US Government.

[5] This mission continues under the leadership of the US Department of State following the Army's departure.
