4,000 U.S. Troops and Warship Recalled From Middle East Amid Houthis Aggression in Red Sea

"The U.S. will likely recall an impressive naval ship from the Middle East in a move representing a significant reduction in troop presence in the region.

Knewz.com has learned that the USS Bataan and two Marine forces comprising 4,000 soldiers will be sailing back to the U.S. sometime in March, according to CNN. However, a U.S. official kept the door open for the ship to remain in the Middle East if the situation deteriorates. When the USS Bataan arrived in the Middle East, it was part of a major concentration of U.S. forces in the region as Washington tried to navigate the fallout from the Gaza war. Now that the war across the region has entered a prolonged stage, the U.S. is shifting its resource management to improve efficiency." MS
