Trump Administration Considers 14,000 More Troops for Mideast
https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-admi ... 1575494228

The Trump administration is considering a significant expansion of the U.S. military footprint in the Middle East, including dozens more ships, other military hardware and as many as 14,000 additional troops to counter Iran, U.S. officials said.

The deployment could double the number of U.S. military personnel who have been sent to the region since the start of a troop buildup in May. President Trump is expected to make a decision on the new deployments as soon as this month, those officials said.

Mr. Trump, facing an election next year, has long sought to exit foreign entanglements and avoid new conflicts. But on Iran—and partly at the behest of Israel—he is convinced of the need to counter the threat his aides say Tehran poses, the officials said. He also could approve a smaller U.S. deployment, the officials said.

The additional forces would join the roughly 14,000 U.S. service members sent to the region since May, when U.S. intelligence analysts identified a threat from Iran and the U.S. Central Command commander, Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, requested additional ships, missile-defense platforms and troops.

Overall, there are between 60,000 and 80,000 U.S. troops deployed to the Middle East and Afghanistan, depending on the number of ships in the region and the rotation of ground forces, defense officials said.

What kind of "troops" and to do what tho ?

Bear in mind that the media also calls sailors at sea "troops" and air force is also "troops"

Even in terms of ground forces, most "troops" are service support.

I don't see any signs of a big move in terms of combat arms, infantry, tanks, artillery, etc

When they say that they are moving units, like the 101st Airborne, or the 2nd Marines, that's combat troops.

When the media says "troops" that could be dental hygienists for all I know.

What is the formations ? Brigades, Divisions : which ones, going where, to do what ?

ZOMG troops ? So what ? There's lots of troops in CENTCOM, faggot.
