US Military dependents authorized to leave Middle East, official says
WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations across the Middle East, a U.S. official told Reuters on Wednesday.
"The safety and security of our service members and their families remains our highest priority and U.S. Central Command is monitoring the developing tension in the Middle East," the official said.
"Central Command is working in close coordination with our Department of State counterparts, as well as our allies and partners in the region to maintain a constant state of readiness to support any number of missions around the world at any time," the official added.
A second official said most of the dependents are based out of Bahrain.
