Venezuela Mobilizes Forces as USS Gerald Ford Enters Region
The USS Gerald R. Ford strike group, with over 4,000 sailors, joins more than a dozen warships to enhance counter-narcotics operations amid rising Venezuela tensions.
- On November 11, the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group entered the U.S. Southern Command area, the U.S. Navy's Fourth Fleet confirmed.
- To counter drug trafficking, U.S. officials say the mission will detect, monitor and disrupt narcotics trafficking and degrade Transnational Criminal Organizations after President Donald Trump ordered the Ford's deployment last month.
- The Ford carries more than 5,000 sailors and can host more than 75 aircraft, supported by guided-missile destroyers and escort warships.
- Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's government has mobilized militias, 8 million civilians and 60,000 Army and National Guard members, with Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino saying, `The aggression will be responded to with national unity`.
- Analysts say the buildup risks destabilizing the region and driving new migration amid over 6.8 million Venezuelan refugees and migrants, with Mexico, Brazil, and U.N. human-rights experts criticizing U.S. actions.
