Part 2/12:
Confirmed by the Pentagon, these American personnel are designated for support roles—not combat operations—to facilitate the fragile ceasefire that has recently taken hold. Their duties will include planning, engineering, logistics, and security, all operating within Israel. Key to their mission is the establishment of a civil-military coordination center inside Israel, led by Admiral Brad Cooper of US Central Command (Sentcom). This hub will serve as the nerve center for military, political, and humanitarian coordination, ensuring the terms of the ceasefire are upheld and aid flows into Gaza smoothly.
