Young soldiers defend Al Udeid in largest Patriot engagement ever, says Caine

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, revealed the details of the young skeleton crew who were left to defend the air base in Al -Wadid, where they faced a barrage of Iranian missiles on Monday.

“We think this is the largest Patriot participation in American military history,” Kane said, referring to the US missile defense system. “We have joined this participation by Qatar Patriot’s flight.”

Kane said that the 44 soldiers left the base after they were evacuated at the age of 21 to 28 years. They were left with only two national systems to defend the base, which is a major headquarters in the Middle East and its home to 10,000 American soldiers deployed.

Kane said: “Imagine that you are the first lieutenant. You are 25 or 26 years old, and you are appointed as a tactical director within the leadership and control element. You, in that era, is the only person responsible for defending this rule,” Kane said.
