MSNBC is reporting a FAST Company is going to reinforce the embassy in Libya.
Interesting.
Traditionally the MEU has the reinforcement mission set. IF a FAST Company is actually deploying then we're seeing the MEU being degraded to support specialty units. The MEU's MV-22's will likely be "requested" to move them to the area and we will see their deployment pattern altered to support the supporters.
Curious.
Clarification:
FAST Company deploys ahead of an incident. If intel indicated that trouble was coming then you'd send in a FAST Team. Once trouble hits then you need the resources of the MEU. If not then you're robbing the MEU to support the FAST Team.. not good.
