An American military advance team is in Yemen to prepare for the arrival of more U.S. military personnel to train local troops in combating terrorism. U.S. officials say the team of fewer than 20 people is assessing what will be needed to carry out training. Details of the cooperation have not yet been revealed. U.S. officials indicate that in addition to training, some equipment will be turned over to Yemeni troops.
This'll probably be a real low-profile operation. Doubt if we'll ever hear any real details about it outside the bar at the Fort Bragg O-Club. |
