Diego Garcia Backgrounder:

Military buildup: The United States is currently pre-positioning military assets in Diego Garcia. Recent reports indicate a significant buildup, including the deployment of at least five to seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to the island in the past week, as of March 29, 2025. This is accompanied by multiple C-17 cargo planes and KC-135 refueling tankers, with satellite imagery and open-source intelligence tracking confirming these movements. The strategic positioning of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean makes it a key staging point for potential operations, particularly in the Middle East, amid rising tensions with Iran and ongoing strikes against Houthi forces in Yemen. This buildup follows a pattern of previous deployments to the island for contingency operations, suggesting preparation for possible large-scale military action.
