Almost a week after Pentagon officials began suggesting that the temporary pier in Gaza may not return, the deputy commander of U.S. Central Command has confirmed that the pier's mission is over… Military: link |

They also suggested that about 2 weeks ago. 😉 it was a fiasco from the start and a sound bite that failed. A VERY expensive sound bite for the taxpayers of the US. But it's not the politicians money. |

Yes, I saw that too on Military.com, IIRC … IMO a good idea but it may have had been conceived as with the A'stan debacle, more about optics[votes] than anything else. |

It is a skill set the military needs to master as their plans for the Pacific rely on using small islands in any PRC conflict. |

I think the pier was a political showboat, showing the US was doing 'something' beyond airdrops. I get the feeling no-one had any real interest in getting it up and running efficiently. Realpolitik in action. |
