So the 26th MEU had operating off the Kearsage in the Med for a while now.
What's interesting is that the USS Bataan (LHD-5) and HMS Albion (L14) will be heading into the region very soon carrying the 22nd MEU, troops of the Korps Mariniers and the 539 Assault Squadron of the Royal Marines.
Officially, the Bataan ARG is to relieve the Kearsage ARG and the Albion is participating in Exercise Green Alligator.
But unofficially it looks like a surge of 3 marine battalions' strength + support off the coast of Libya.
Hmm...
