The United arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for Policy Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs January 25, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 RS21852 The United arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for Policy Congressional Research Service Summary The United arab Emirates (UAE) has been a significant partner in Gulf security for more than two decades, helping to address multiple regional threats, and benefitting from long-standing and extensive defense cooperation with the United States. About 5,000 military personnel are stationed at UAE military facilities, hosted there under a 1994 defense cooperation agreement (DCA) that remains in effect by mutual agreement. The UAE was the first Gulf state to order the most sophisticated missile defense system sold by the United States (the THAAD), demonstrating support for efforts to forge a coordinated missile defense network against Iran. The UAE also hosts other Western forces, including those of France. As the UAE has gained capability to project force, it has increasingly acted assertively in the region, particularly in concert with Saudi Arabia.
