The U.S. is sending additional destroyers and bombers to the Middle East over the next several weeks as the Pacific carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) will leave the region soon, Pentagon officials announced.

Over the weekend, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered more ballistic missile defense destroyers, Air force fighter squadrons and B-52 long-range bombers to the Middle East, Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder confirmed Monday. No additional details about which destroyers, aircraft or fighter squadrons will go were included in the release.
