Overview
More than 3,500 U.S. troops, including the amphibious ship USS Tripoli with roughly 2,500 Marines, have arrived in the Middle East as strikes in the conflict have intensified. The USS Gerald R. Ford's prolonged deployment supporting operations in the Iran war and related missions underscores the scale of U.S. naval involvement backing these troop and strike operations, reinforcing the defensive rationale for the force buildup while also increasing the potential for direct confrontations.
