Secretary of Defence Mark Esper told reporters the deployment would be "defensive in nature". Total troop numbers have not yet been decided, the BBC reported on Saturday.
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for the attacks against two oil facilities last week.
Earlier on Friday however, US President Trump announced "highest level" sanctions against Iran while signalling he wanted to avoid military conflict.
"I think the strong person approach, and the thing that does show strength, would be showing a little bit of restraint," he told reporters in the Oval Office.
The fresh sanctions will focus on Iran's central bank and its sovereign wealth fund, Trump said.
Esper made the announcement alongside the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen Joseph Dunford Jr on Friday.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE requested assistance, Esper said. The forces will focus on boosting air and missile defences, and the US will "accelerate the delivery of military equipment" to both nations.
Gen Dunford called the deployment "moderate" and said it would not number in the thousands. He gave no further details about the type of forces to be sent.
According to a leading US media outlet, when reporters asked Esper if military strikes on Iran were still being considered, the defence secretary responded: "That's not where we are right now."
Strikes hit the Abqaiq oil facility and the Khurais oil field in Saudi Arabia a week ago, affecting the global oil supply.
On Wednesday, the kingdom's defence ministry showed off what it says are the remains of drones and cruises missiles proving Iranian involvement. The country is however still "working to know exactly the launch point", a spokesman said.
The US also alleges Iran is responsible. Senior officials have told US media outlets they had evidence the attacks originated in the south of Iran.
Iran has repeatedly denied any role in the strikes, with President Hassan Rouhani calling the attacks a reciprocal act by the "Yemeni people".
On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had called the strikes "an act of war".
Zarif warned on Twitter that Iran had no desire for war but "we will not hesitate to defend ourselves".
