The Pentagon is deploying the USS Gravely to the Gulf of America as part of a mission to secure the southern border, focusing on interdicting drugs and illicit goods. The deployment is under Northcom authority, in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard. The Department of Defense emphasizes the importance of border security as national security, despite a reported 93% decrease in illegal border crossings. Approximately 10,000 troops are deployed to the border, along with a Stryker Brigade Combat Team. The Pentagon spokesman referred to the "Gulf of America", a renaming attributed to President Trump.
