Kuwait hosts the largest United States logistics and airlift concentration in the region under a bilateral arrangement dating from the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War. The record states that the arrangement exists and nothing about what it contains.
The United States in the Gulf maintains a presence hosted by Kuwait. A directional arrangement: the two parties do not hold the same position in it. Authored once and read from both ends.

Synthèse
Kuwait has hosted a substantial United States military logistics presence since the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War, under a publicly documented bilateral arrangement. Vigil records the arrangement's existence and its parties. It carries no facility, unit, capability, strength, disposition or sustainment detail — the schema has fields for none of these, and this module will not describe logistics that support an active belligerent. Kuwait reported its air defences engaging drones and missiles on 1 September 2026; Tehran did not comment on that report.
Pourquoi c’est important
Kuwait carries two exposures at once: it hosts a belligerent's logistics hub, and it is the state in the system with the least civilian margin, generating the large majority of its drinking water by desalination at plants that were struck repeatedly. The hosting arrangement and the civilian vulnerability are separate facts about the same small country.
