be destroyed, sold or given away. However, Air Force Maj. Gen. Rowayne “Wayne” Schatz, the director of operations and plans for U.S.
Transportation Command, said that from June to December roughly 3,100 vehicles and other military gear was moved into Kuwait while
plans for a massive spring offensive against ISIS is being developed.
The gear is being housed near a busy commercial port, which is now the place where -- mostly ambush-protected
vehicles known as MRAPs – are parked, in addition to electronic equipment and other supplies.
The spring offensive will help Iraqi and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters take back territory from the Islamic State. But Lt. Gen. James Terry
