The Pentagon has decided to “cease operations” at a facility in Turkey called the Yumurtalik Sea Terminal, which serves as a jet fuel receipt point for Incirlik Air Base. According to a brief announcement, the action affects one US service member and two host nation employees. We presume Incirlik has other means to get its aircraft fuel.
As the U.S. war with Iran intensifies, the Pentagon is rushing more warplanes to the region, deploying Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons and F-35 Lightning II fighters to the Middle East, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
