Washington, December 10 (RHC)-- The Pentagon has asked the White House to build up a series of U.S. military bases across Africa, Southwest Asia and the Middle East.
The New York Times reports top military officials want the network of bases to serve as hubs "for Special Operations troops and intelligence operatives who would conduct counter-terrorism missions" against groups like the Islamic State, ensuring an "enduring" American military presence in several regions overseas.
