b********n 发帖数: 38600 | 1 Scores of ground troops are headed toward Syria to help move troops out, and
a group of naval vessels headed by the amphibious assault ship USS
Kearsarge is headed to the region to back up troops at the vulnerable moment
they are leaving the country, the officials said. The Kearsarge carries
hundreds of Marines, helicopters and other aircraft.
"Nothing has changed," one defense official said. "We don’t take orders
from Bolton."
To account for shifts in plans, the military will stage the personnel and
equipment needed for a possible withdrawal, rather than move the U.S. forces
out. Troops tasked to help with the eventual withdrawal already are in the
area, in places like Kuwait and al-Asad air base in western Iraq.
