Sounds like the Kearsarge MEU, likely doing a Non-Combatant Evacuation Operation (NEO). Until a CV shows up, there won't be any no-fly zone. The embassy should have the names of US and friendly foreign nationals, but with Hillary as the Secretary of State and this late start to the op, who knows.

If your Marine is embarked, they have practiced this and have the experience to get it done. If it turns to crap, they have the ability to work that out as well.

From link at #169, it was the 26th MEU aboard the Kearsarge but the bulk were deployed to Afghanistan. Where the embarked Marines are coming from now is unknown, to us of course. Since they will be flying over, it could be anywhere.

Clinton said “no option is off the table”, but since she wouldn’t know anything about the military ‘options’ if they kicked her in the ass that isn’t saying much.

Relax mom. Most likely a prepositioned MEU that is already in theater......unless your son is serving in a MEU not likely he’ll be involved. This one looks like a quick grab of US citizens left behind because of the Obama’s botched evacuation plan......The Marines involved won’t have time to even get off a post card “wish you were here!”

Now it looks like 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines, Camp Lejeune.
