Subject: Troops Asked for Drone Defeat Capabilities...
... none were provided.

Troops at Shuaiba port in Kuwait asked for more drone defeat capabilities but none came. It was recommended that the makeshift tactical operations center not be used because it was hard to defend and concentrated too many troops in one place. Six US service members died there.

Requests were made for more capabilities to defeat incoming drones, but those additional resources never came, the two sources said. One source told CBS News: "We basically had no drone defeat capability."

"I'm sorry for their families' losses," one of the sources told CBS News. "They were nice people doing what their nation asked of them."

CNN first reported on the six service members killed at Shuaiba port and that they seemingly had no prior warning. CBS News is first to report on the type of ordnance that impacted the operations center, and that some American troops feel the center's defenses were inadequate and perhaps that the operations center established should not have been used at all.

We'll see if republicans hold two years of hearings on this as they did for Benghazi.
