Iranian drone and missile strikes forced US troops to abandon Camp Buehring, a major military base in Kuwait, during the opening stages of the US-Israeli war on Iran, according to authenticated footage and servicemen accounts obtained by CBS News. Most of the 7,000 stationed troops had been dispersed under the Pentagon's 'get off the X' strategy, but around 100 remained to defend the base before fleeing to improvised desert outposts due to repeated attacks, ammunition shortages, and damage to equipment. No US personnel were killed at the base, though several were injured, including two struck by lightning during sandstorms. The Pentagon declined to comment on the CBS report but referenced Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's March remarks about moving over 90% of personnel from regional bases. The revelations follow an AP investigation into a deadly Iranian drone strike at Port Shuaiba on March 1 that killed six soldiers. By September, CENTCOM estimated the war had cost $43.6 billion, with disputed death tolls ranging from 18 to 23. The Pentagon later tightened controls on battlefield imagery after strikes in Jordan, citing operational security concerns.
