(Worthy News) – The Ronald Reagan carrier strike group is now in the Middle East to help support the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, the Navy announced Friday.
The Japan-based carrier Ronald Reagan, along with the cruiser Shiloh and destroyer Halsey, entered the Fifth Fleet area of operations Friday, a statement from the strike group said.
The Reagan joins the carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower and its strike group, which have been in the area since April supporting Operation Inherent Resolve. The Eisenhower’s deployment was extended shortly after it arrived in the area, following the White House announcement that it would withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11 or earlier.
