The U.S. is accelerating a fresh military deployment to the Middle East, sending about 4,000 service members, including 2,500 Marines, from the West Coast.
According to 4 officials speaking to Newsmax, the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are deploying ahead of schedule, moving through the Indo Pacific toward the region as the Pentagon surges additional firepower amid the Iran war.
The group includes USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship that functions like a mini aircraft carrier, along with USS Portland and USS Comstock, both amphibious landing ships.
This marks a new, separate deployment from earlier movements, reinforcing U.S. forces with amphibious assault and rapid response capabilities.
