Prohibition of US Military Support for Yemen Intervention

This bill aims to limit the United States' military involvement in the Yemen conflict. It means taxpayer money cannot be used to support offensive operations by the Saudi-led coalition unless the President obtains specific Congressional authorization. This seeks to increase citizen oversight of decisions regarding the use of armed forces.
Key points
Prohibits Department of Defense funds from being used for intelligence sharing and logistical support for offensive coalition strikes in Yemen.
Prohibits US military personnel from commanding or coordinating coalition forces in Yemen without Congressional approval.
The prohibitions do not apply to US Armed Forces operations targeting al-Qaeda or associated forces.
