As Sayliyah Army Base ( Arabic:قاعدة السيلية العسكرية) or Camp As Sayliyah was a United States Army base in Al Sailiya, a suburb outside Doha, Qatar. U.S. Central Command used it to preposition material bound for Iraq and Afghanistan. It was the largest U.S. Army prepositioning site in the world, [1] capable of storing enough equipment for a U.S. Army armored brigade: more than 150 M-1 Abrams tanks, 116 Bradley fighting vehicles, and 112 other armored personnel carriers. [1] [2] It was established in 2000, [3] and closed in June 2021 when its mission was moved to Area Support Group-Jordan. [4] In 2022, it is being used as a way station or " lily pad" for housing Afghans who have been evacuated by the US Government. [5]
A second military facility, not generally discussed, is also present in Qatar – Camp as Sayliyah. This is a forward positioning logistics facility. It has the equipment for an entire U.S. Army armored brigade, and a number of warehouses. It was essential to American operations in Iraq in 2003.
