Yep. That MEU ain't steaming around off the coast for recreational purposes, that's for damned sure.
Unless the 26MEU has been rotated back with its ARG, there are two MEUs in the Med. The 22MEU sailed 14 days ago. Also there are about 3500 troopers of the 173rd A’borne BDE in Vincenza Italy. That’s as many as 7K high quality light infantry within a day’s deployment of Libya.
