About 2,000 US troops have been chosen to be ready to assist Israel with advising and medical support.
But officials have not said which units were chosen or the location they would deploy to, according to the Journal. It was later reported Monday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Austin has given “be ready to deploy” orders for a select number of American troops. “I don’t have more to provide at this time,” she told reporters at the Pentagon. “I might be able to give you more details later, but at this time, I just don’t have anything more specific to add.”
