Approximately 2,500 Marines from the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) will be replaced by the 24th MEU, who are onboard the USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) and are currently taking part in the Sail 250 event in New Orleans, and are expected to head south after the event ends on June 1st. It is currently unknown which other ships will deploy as part of the amphibious assault group, although they will likely be joined by an independently deployed ship already in the region.
