Why is the U.S. building a gigantic military base on the West Bank border?

The sudden appearance south of Rosh Ha'ayin of a massive army "supply base," built by the U.S. army engineering corps for the IDF with Arab workers, has raised eyebrows and suspicions about the real purpose and intended users of the massive facility.

According to an IDF spokesman, the new base (dubbed "Nachshonim," after a nearby kibbutz) and located less than 10 minutes east of Ben Gurion airport, will be used as a storage facility for reservists' equipment, including beds, uniforms, etc.
