Thousands of Marines to Arrive in Centcom the Same Day as Trump's Iran Deadline -- WSJ

Dow Jones03-24

By Lara Seligman

Thousands of U.S. Marines are slated to arrive in the Middle East on Friday, according to two U.S. officials, the day President Trump has set as the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The Japan-based amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli, the amphibious landing dock USS New Orleans and roughly 2,200 Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit will cross into U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for U.S. forces in the Middle East, on Friday, the officials said. It would take another few days for the unit to get to the Strait of Hormuz.

The Pentagon has also ordered another Marine unit to Centcom: the California-based 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard the USS Boxer amphibious ready group. That unit will depart in a few weeks. It won't arrive in Centcom for a few weeks after that.
