Machine guns, sniper rifles, aerial drones, and two new operating bases are all part of a $75 million Pentagon counterterrorism package for Yemen sent to Capitol Hill.
The weapons and equipment were financed under Section 1207 funding, a congressionally mandated stream of federal money overseen by DOD and the State Department dedicated to support counterterror operations around the world.
