Sources estimate from the current pace of arrivals
on the two island bases,
that 50,000 US troops will have accumulated on Socotra and Masirah
by mid-February.
They will top up the 50,000 military already
present in the Persian Gulf region,
so that in less than a month,
Washington will have some 100,000 military personnel on the spot
and available for any contingency.
