2200 Marines on float suggests a heavily re-enforced MEU; not something to trifle with. Not sure which MEU is on float there (yet), but I would bet my bottom dollar that battalion is SOC as well.

The Kearsarge is on station and the Battan is on its way 3/23/11 to reportedly relieve the Kearsarge and may very well be on station on Monday. I remember the Saratoga was to be relieved from the Red Sea before operation Desert Storm was being planned. The Sara was the first carrier group to return after the war.
