US Prepares 5,000 Marines for War Pete Hegseth has approved a request from U.S. Central Command for an element of an amphibious ready group and an attached Marine expeditionary unit, typically consisting of several warships and 5,000 Marines, according to The Wall Street Journal. With this move, his objective appears to be an operation to seize Kharg Island. There is little else he could realistically do with these forces. It would be an extremely bold operation to attempt to capture an island located just 25 km off the Iranian coast. The bigger question is: how would they hold that position? Another possibility is that the force is intended to secure enriched uranium in a far more complex operation that would not require amphibious ships. And the last, and most likely, alternative is that this deployment is simply meant to intimidate Iran.







@GodfreeTrh You simply do not fly into the airspace of an adversarial Nation, land and extract it's leader, without incident or casualty, without having people working with you on the inside.
