The U.S. is building a training and maintenance facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho for Qatari troops to operate F-15QA jets, a move that has sparked political controversy but is part of longstanding international military cooperation. The base, home to the 366th Fighter Wing, will continue to be secured by U.S. personnel, and the project aims to enhance joint operational readiness between the U.S. and Qatar.
