'Marines on the move in Middle East 'as a result of emerging events'
[FoxNews] The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit 'are no longer in vicinity of Kuwait'.

A special operations Marine Corps unit participating in exercises expected to last through Oct. 22, departed early this week "as a result of emerging events," according to reports.

The spokesperson said the crew is now near Bahrain, though she would not say where they were heading out of concerns for operational safety. White’s statements did not confirm if the "emerging events" were a reference to the attacks in Israel and Gaza, the publication noted.

On Tuesday, the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea to "deter any actor seeking to escalate the situation or widen this war," according to a Tuesday press release from U.S. Command Central.
