Please see the discussion on the talk page. |
Muharraq airfield is located adjacent to Bahrain International Airport. It is run by the United States Navy and usually ships supplies in and out of the airport with many of them from other countries as well. The U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marines, the Bahrain police force, and others run the security at the airfield. Security there is considered one of the best in the world. With the September 11, 2001 attacks, security beefed up with reservists with many of them doing some sort of law enforcement while they were civilians. Many of then were police officers and federal agents before they were called up, which helped out tremendously. Muharraq Airfield was the last stop for most US troops headed to the United States war in Afghanistan.
