flag Qatar will train F-15 pilots at Idaho’s Mountain Home Air Force Base with U.S. support, starting in 2025.

flag Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced in October 2025 that Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho will host a Qatar Emiri Air Force training facility, allowing Qatari F-15s and pilots to train with U.S. forces to enhance interoperability. flag The project, planned since at least 2017 and confirmed with a 2022 environmental assessment, will operate within existing U.S. infrastructure, with Qatar funding and managing the facility while the U.S. handles construction and security. flag The move follows the longstanding U.S. practice of hosting allied training programs, similar to those with Singapore, Germany, and Poland, and was welcomed by local officials in Mountain Home, Idaho, who have been involved in planning since a 2023 visit to Qatar.
