Hope they had emergency medical on scene. Wonder how many people left with some type of severe injury?

Marine Expeditionary Brigade...
— Engaging Strategy (@EngageStrategy1) January 21, 2020
I don't think I've ever really appreciated what a Marine Expeditionary Brigade would actually look like...or to be more precise what it would look like if you put it all aboard ship.
Just plain wow.
That's enough combat power to destroy MANY nations alone. That's before you add in Naval Air coming from a couple of carriers, a few rapid deployment Army Divisions (or even just Brigades), the USAF sending an Air Expeditionary Force, Special Ops Command running around with their hair on fire and of course the National Guard/Reserves/Coast Guard.
The astonishing thing?
If you're counting hulls then we have enough to get another MEB afloat too.
Sometimes I wonder if we should stop push for more and simply get what we have operating at 100%. Looking at this simple illustration we're already at overmatch with our US Marine/Navy team solo....and that would apply to a 1st world military force (at least 99 percent of them) much less 3rd world nations.
World Health Organization to hold an emergency meeting as coronavirus cases jump to nearly 300....what do they know that we don't????

Ok. My spider sense is tingling on this one.
First we had the US CDC jumping with serious quickness to monitor flights coming from China.
Second we saw various other govts doing the same and then we saw outbreaks in Japan, S. Korea and Australia.
Last. We have the WHO holding a meeting with SERIOUS quickness to discuss the issue.
What do these people know that we, the general public doesn't? Yeah. I might be alarmist but doesn't it make you wonder too?

What do active military/vets know that the general public doesn't? That the amount of cooperation between the US and Russia would SHOCK most Americans.
If you see damn near a JOINT patrol like above you can guarantee that there is also joint air cover. We already know that they deconflict the airspace and I'm sure they'll have rolling air cover overhead to protect these troops if they come under attack.
This is the weirdness of the war in Syria. The most complex, confusing, multi-player battlefield I've ever heard of.
