 Nothing in Kuwait itself - it’s a deployment and ally agreement/partnership between the US and Kuwait that’s been ongoing since 2012 or so (Operation Spartan Shield). It basically operates as a US command base that supports access and operations around the Middle East. Covers training etc while also maintaining a presence and acting as a deterrent in a region that is increasingly becoming unstable with all the recent events that have been happening.
