After accompanying CENTCOM commander General Kenneth McKenzie on a visit to the kingdom on 25 January, The Wall Street Journal identified the sites as commercial and industrial ports in Yanbu and airbases in Tabuk and Taif.
The newspaper published a photograph of Gen McKenzie at a currently unused part of King Fahad Industrial Port Yanbu. King Faisal Air Base and King Fahd Air Base are located in Tabuk and Taif respectively.
“What it does is to give us options, and options are always a good thing for a commander to have,” Gen McKenzie said. He added that personnel, aircraft, and weapons have been moved through all the sites over the past year to test how they can be used to transfer assets in and out of the region. Additional sites that Gen McKenzie declined to identify are under consideration.
