The USS Wasp is with USS Oak Hill and
USS New York and the 3 ships make up the Amphibious Ready Group.
Though Israel-Lebanon
has been involved in conflicts regularly since the Israel-Hamas conflict
unfolded, the situation has been quite intense in the past few weeks, with
experts saying a war between the two is possible.
Thousands of people remain displaced
due to the instability that these conflicts have created. Now, the U.S has sent its ships and
marines not only to display force but to prevent both parties from direct
confrontation or to rescue U.S citizens if required.
The U.S has sent around 2000 soldiers which
include those trained for operations like evacuating people from war zones.
