Military’s novel floating pier arrives in Gaza amid security concerns

U.S. soldiers and sailors have stabbed an aid pier into a Gaza Strip beach, a capability known as Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore, or JLOTS. (DOD)
Since President Joe Biden announced during his State of the Union address that the U.S. military would build a humanitarian aid pier on the Gaza Strip, and that “no U.S. boots will be on the ground” in Gaza, Keith Robbins and other retired military logistics officers have been watching.

And on Thursday, after weeks of preparation, security planning and weather delays, the Pentagon announced that a trident pier had been stabbed into the Gaza beach.


The pier is essentially an erector set-like assembly of metal pieces built at sea and sitting close to the water that can assume a variety of lengths depending on the mission requirements.
