The US Navy fired nearly $2 billion in weapons over a year of fighting in the Middle East

The US Navy has been involved in combat operations in the Middle East for over a year.

In that time, Navy warships and aircraft in the region have fired $1.85 billion worth of munitions.

These munitions were used to battle the Houthis and defend Israel from Iranian attacks.
 

The US Navy has fired off nearly $2 billion worth of munitions since it began intense combat operations in the Middle East a little over a year ago.

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
