🚨 BREAKING The United States Department of Defense has ordered the USS Boxer (LHD-4) Amphibious Ready Group to rapidly deploy to the Middle East amid escalating tensions with Iran. The group includes: • USS Boxer (LHD-4) • USS Comstock (LSD-45) • USS Portland (LPD-27) Approximately 2,500 Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are already embarked as the force heads toward the United States Central Command area of operations.

Some analysts say the buildup represents one of the largest U.S. military reinforcements in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion.
