For context, several thousand US military personnel have rotated through Israel during this genocide. Whether THAAD battery personnel or working on the JLOTS (the "pier") or helping build out Israeli Air Force bases, our boys have been involved in the day to day operation of the genocide machine

    SkySat imagery from @planet.com shows this JLOTS and IDF checkpoint area after it was dismantled on January 24. The dirt berms around the JLOTS were destroyed and the temporary structures (including two communication pylons) were removed.

    Meanwhile while PLAN and PLAN fetishists play Jane’s defense - CENTCOM announces that JLOTS pier construction is continuing and US assets in the Red Sea continue to engage Houthis UAVs harassing shipping in the Red Sea.

        There's so much going on in this report about the Gaza pier, but this part is particularly interesting.
The UN's World Food Program wanted the pier to at least be built in the north where the people were starving the most. The IDF and USAID overruled that plan.

    The excruciating months of watching a JLOTS mission crawl out there, flail for maybe 25 working days of actual transfer of cargo, to achieve 75% of a single pre-war day at ONE crossing into Gaza.  JUST for the headlines he could get along the way.

    I still maintain that the choice to deploy the JLOTS was a good operational test of the platform which we can learn about from when it's needed in other theaters where marine landing capabilities will be needed.

        Jlots and half a hundred other Gaza response related things, Venezuela bridge, a lot of Ukraine stuff, basically anytime politicals touched HA, and that's just the HA side. The development side is a whole different can of worms, that imo needed to be completely reimagined from the ground up.

            The Pentagon’s floating pier off Gaza, announced by President Biden in March, has been sidelined several times by poor weather and rough seas.

        Couple of points:
1. All of the materials and personnel for the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (JLOTS) had to be organized and dispatched from the US.
2. Weather conditions delayed the anchoring of the pier.
3. It IS NOT an uncontested beach. It's in Northern Gaza!
