United States withdrawal from Saudi Arabia 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 . Overview . Since Saudi Arabia houses the holiest sites in Islam ( Mecca and Medina ) — many Muslims were upset at the permanent military presence . The continued presence of US troops after the Gulf War in Saudi Arabia was one of the stated motivations behind the September 11th terrorist attacks and the Khobar Towers bombing . The date of the 1998 United States embassy bombings was eight years to the day ( August 7 ) that American troops were sent to Saudi Arabia . Bin Laden interpreted the Prophet Muhammad as banning the " permanent presence of infidels in Arabia " . Opinion polls conducted by Gallup from 2006 – 2008 , find that many in Muslim majority countries strongly object to U . S . military bases in Saudi Arabia . 52 % of Saudis agreed that removing military bases from Saudi Arabia would very significantly improve their opinion of United States . Also 60 % of Egyptians , 39 % of Jordanians , 40 % of Syrians and Palestinians , 55 % of Tunisians , 13 % of Iranians , 29 % of Turks , 40 % of Lebanese , 30 % of Algerians gave that opinion too . The U . S . has rejected the characterization of its presence as an " occupation " , noting that the government of Saudi Arabia consented to the presence of troops . Many in the U . S . , the Arab world and elsewhere saw the presence of U . S . troops as supporting the House of Saud , the rule of which is controversial . Withdrawal . On April 29 , 2003 , Donald Rumsfeld announced that he would be withdrawing US troops from the country stating that the Iraq War no longer required the support . Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz had earlier said that the continuing US presence in the kingdom was putting American lives in danger . The announcement came one day after the Combined Air Operations Center ( CAOC ) was shifted from Prince Sultan Air Base to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar . The move was controversial , as some said that it was a needless contingent that only enraged Muslim populations , while others said that the United States were caving to the demands of Osama bin Laden . U . S . officials transferred control of portions of Prince Sultan Air Base to Saudi officials at a ceremony on August 26 , 2003 . The base had been home to about 60 , 000 US personnel over time .

Battle of the Vosges The Battle of the Vosges also known as the Battle of Tripstadt was fought on 13 July 1794 in eastern France in the Vosges Mountains from which it derives its name . The Introduction . By July 1794 , the fledgling French Republic had been at war for a little under two years and in that time its fortunes had changed dramatically . Following initial setbacks for the Revolutionaries , the war changed in France ' s favour with the appointment of Lazare Carnot to the post of War Minister ( or as the position was formally known - Head of the Committee of Public Safety War Section ) . Following the introduction of the " levée en masse " or mass conscription , French armies had increased to around 800 , 000 frontline troops and a grand total of between 1 . 4 and 1 . 6 million men under arms . These were divided into 13 principal field armies . The largest of these was the Army of the Rhine which in July 1794 amounted to around 115 , 000 under General Michaud . The Army of the Rhine was deployed along a frontline some 70 kilometres in length . It was opposed by an Allied army of around 70 , 000 Prussia ns , Austrians and Saxons under Prussian Field Marshal von Möllendorf which held strong defensive positions and elevated terrain . In the approximate center of the Allied line was the town of Tripstadt . The battle . On 2 July Michaud launched an attack all along the front . The French army was halted everywhere except on the extreme right where the young divisional commander , Louis Desaix , successfully pushed back the Allied wing . However this left his division isolated and counterattacks by the Prince of Baden and future victor of Waterloo , von Blücher , reversed his advance while inflicting about 1 , 000 casualties . At the end of the day both armies occupied approximately the same positions as they had at the commencation of hostilities . On orders from Carnot , Michaud launched a second offensive on 13 July . On the right of the French line General Gouvion Saint - Cyr , a future Napoleonic marshal , captured the village of Kaiserslautern supported by the artillery of General Desaix ' s division . In the centre of the battlefield General Taponnier ' s corps pushed back Prince von Hohenlohe ' s Prussian corps to Tripstadt whilst on the left the French advance divided the Allied line , thus denying General Kalckreuth the chance to assist Hohenlohe . Taponnier ' s attack on Tripstadt was decisive because the Austrians failed to support the Prussians . The aftermath . Möllendorf ordered his forces to regroup east of the Rhine on the night of 13 – 14 July thus ending all Allied presence on the west bank . On the 16th Kalckreuth and Hohenlohe rejoined the bulk of Möllendorf ' s army , but no attempt to salvage the situation was made until September when Hohenlohe successfully caught Michaud off - guard . This later success however was not followed up and the complacency of both forces led to stagnation of the front .
