Army Air Defense Units Deploying from Three Bases After Drone Attacks
by ADC | Oct 25, 2023 | Congress/DoD, Israel-Hamas, On Base



Army air defense units from Fort Bliss, Texas, Fort Liberty, North Carolina and Fort Sill, Oklahoma are deploying to the Middle East, the Pentagon announced Tuesday.

The move comes amid the Israel-Hamas war and drone strikes on U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria. Two dozen American military personnel were injured in the drone strikes last week, NBC News reported.

“We are posturing additional forces in the region for two reasons,” Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters Tuesday. “One, again, to bolster our broader regional deterrence efforts. And two, to send a clear message that we will protect our forces. We will always maintain the inherent right of self-defense.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
