An inside look at how the soldiers live in their remote desert outpost

A typical room on base looks like a college dorm room. It has a bed, a desk, a mini-fridge, and a place to keep clothes. The soldiers told ABC11 they try to make their rooms feel like their own with family pictures and posters.

Kuwait is on the northern shores of the Persian Gulf.

Perhaps the most surprising thing we found in the Kuwaiti desert was the converted storage trailers that house American fast-food options for the soldiers. There's a KFC, a Baskin-Robbins, a Subway, a Starbucks, a Pizza Hut, and a Hardee's. There are even boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts for the soldiers - a real taste of North Carolina.

"Being over here and deployed, and away from your family and culture, being alone can be tough," explained Sergeant Duane Brown. "But when you get a chance to escape, even for an hour or two, to come to Starbucks, something familiar like Pizza Hut, or just sit down with your buddies...it's just comforting."
