For a while, the White House refused to admit that there were troops on the ground in Yemen. In January 17, Brigadier General Pat Ryder said that he was not aware of any US forces on the ground in Yemen. The Department of Defense backed his statement and said that it was accurate. However, a report from the White House from December 7, 2023, showed where US troops were deployed for counter-terrorism operations. Yemen and Jordan were among the countries listed in the report.<\/p>\n

Troops are on the ground in Yemen, according to a report from the White House. When asked if there was a presence there, the Pentagon refused to acknowledge the reality earlier in January.<\/p>\n

“A small number of United States military personnel are deployed to Yemen to conduct operations against al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula and ISIS,” the White House told Congress in a December 7 report.<\/p>\n

In a press briefing on Jan. 17, Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder was asked if he could say with confidence that troops were not on the ground in Yemen. He responded, saying, “I’m not aware of any US forces on the ground.”<\/p>\n

After reporting on the contradiction, the Intercept reached out for comment from the US Department of Defense.<\/p>\n

“Maj Gen Ryder’s prior assertion that there are no US forces on the ground in Yemen remains accurate,” DoD spokesman Lt. Col. Bryon McGarry told the outlet after the report’s publication.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
