King Khalid Military City
King Khalid Military City (KKMC) is a special city in northeastern Saudi Arabia, designed and built by the Middle East Division, a unit of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in the 1970's and 1980's. It was built to provide lodging for several brigades of American and Saudi troops, with a design population of 65,000 people. The city is named after former Saudi King, Khalid bin Abdul Aziz.
Present use
At its peak, hundreds of US Army Corps engineers and personnel made KKMC their home, and a small American city evolved within the Saudi military city. Today, US presence at KKMC is minimal with only a small amount of US government personnel still working and living there.
