Summary

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz is said to be planning to reduce the role of

foreign security and military advisors starting next year, especially U.S. ones.

This comes in parallel with the ongoing deliberations reportedly taking place between senior military and security GCC advisors regarding the development of their countries’ capabilities to enhance self-reliance.

Tactical Report has prepared a 387-word report to shed more light on the subject.
