Captain Jim Fennell

pick up operations with our two carriers, even back in Tampa at CENTCOM.

So there's a lot of flexibility that we have in command and control.

And those are from years of lessons, 35 years of lessons that we have learned as a joint force to bring fires like this.

And so it's really about sustainment and how we can continue to go for as long as we need to until we

achieve all those targeting objectives that we've set forward in the plan that was put forward and that we're executing right now.

Well, Steve, I think it's not quite as big as Desert Storm had five aircraft carriers.

But again, that was a six-month buildup.

So right now, what we have, what President Trump and the Secretary of War put together is two carrier strike groups are going to be in the region.

One is already there, the USS Abraham Lincoln with its air wing aircraft.

And then the USS Gerald R. Ford, as people know, have been ordered across the Atlantic.

So it's in a transatlantic transit right now.

So it's heading to the region.

In addition to that, over the last couple of weeks, you've seen over 250 flights from American aircraft into the region in terms of aircraft.

for deploying aircraft.

So for instance, from Lake and Heath in England, we have 54 F-35s, 36 F-15s.

In Jordan, we have

12 F-16s, 12 F-35s, six Prowlers or EA-18 Growlers.

I'm a little Prowler guy, so that confused me there.

And then one squadron of A-10s.

So we have a number of aircraft that were just imaged over the weekend in Jordan.
