The Defense Department is trying to quickly find vendors who are able to ship pre-made shelters to protect troops in the Middle East as the United States’ war with Iran continues.
The department is looking for information from private contractors who can provide “prefabricated, transportable, hardened shelter systems designed to protect personnel from blast and fragmentation threats,” according to a new federal contract notice posted Monday.
Protection for the troops a month after starting the war and 13 of the nearby bases destroyed… there doesn’t even seem to be a plan on where to place these additional 50,000 troops arriving within the next 2 weeks other than leaving them as sitting ducks in ships. There was never a plan … they are winging it I really hope everyone is realizing this. If it wasn’t for some of the naval commanders already saying no to the madmen on bringing our ships closer to shore for an invasion so far, the number of casualties would be alot higher on both sides.
50,000?!
I only saw news about the Tripoli and Boxer which combined carry about 5,000 marines.
It goes up by the day and there were already naval ships enroute before Tripoli and Boxer were called. This was just on Friday them preparing another 10,000 troops making it close to the 50,000 part of "Operation Epic Fury "
