According to the U.S. weekly Defense News the U.S. will Store $800M in emergency military gear in Israel. This is a doubling of the current stockpile. Israel will be allowed to use these stores in the event of an emergency.
The US has stored "emergency" military gear in Israel since 1992. It stores such emergency stockpiles in several other countries as well including South Korea, Germany and Saudi Arabia.
This change is interesting because it could create a cover to secretly transfer bunker buster bombs to Israel (for a strike on Iran) and could provide extra supplies for Israel's US supplied army and patriot missle batteries in the event of a conflict in late 2010 or 2011.
