US Army Vessel Sets Sail for Eastern Mediterranean with Humanitarian Aid for Gaza

F.P. Report

WASHINGTON DC: On the heels of President Biden’s announcement regarding the provision of humanitarian aid to Gaza via sea routes, the U.S. Army Vessel (USAV) General Frank S. Besson (LSV-1) swiftly embarked on its mission from Joint Base Langley-Eustis.

Belonging to the esteemed 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), 3rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command, under the purview of the XVIII Airborne Corps, the vessel’s departure marked a resolute commitment to delivering essential humanitarian assistance to the Eastern Mediterranean region.

As a logistical support vessel, the General Frank S. Besson assumes a pivotal role in this humanitarian endeavor, carrying crucial equipment necessary to establish a temporary pier. This infrastructure will serve as a lifeline for the seamless delivery of vital supplies to the besieged population of Gaza.

The expeditious deployment of the vessel less than 36 hours post-announcement underscores the United States’ unwavering dedication to alleviating the humanitarian crisis gripping the region and signals a tangible step towards fostering stability and relief in Gaza.
