The Hill:
The Pentagon announced Thursday that the U.S. will deploy 200 personnel as well as missile defense and radar equipment to Saudi Arabia in response to the attacks earlier this month on its oil facilities, which the Trump administration has blamed on Iran.
The Defense Department will send one Patriot missile system battery, which holds the missiles and launcher, and four Sentinel radars meant to detect any incoming attack, chief Pentagon spokesperson Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement on Thursday. Some 140 of the deployed personnel will be tasked with operating and maintaining the Patriot battery, with the other 60 working on the radar systems.
