| rdfs:label | - United States withdrawal from Saudi Arabia
|
| rdfs:comment | - Beginning during Operation Desert Shield in August 1990, while preparing for the Gulf War, the United States sent a troop contingent to Saudi Arabia. After the war, the troops remained, under Operation Southern Watch. Operation Southern Watch enforced the no-fly zones over southern Iraq set up after 1991, and the country's oil exports through the shipping lanes of the Persian Gulf were protected by the US Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain. In 2003, the United States withdrew most troops from Saudi Arabia.
