Connecticut's newspaper The Day noted on January 24th:
康涅狄格州的報紙那日1月24日被注意：
Connecticut National Guard Detachment 2, Company I, 185th Aviation Regiment of Groton has mobilized and will deploy to the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, to support the Multinational Force and Observers.
康涅狄格州國民警衛隊格羅頓第185航空團連一支隊二已經動員，並部署到埃及西奈半島，以支持多國部隊和觀察家。
The unit left Connecticut Jan. 15 for Fort Benning, Ga., for further training and validation. The unit operates C-23C Sherpa aircraft and has deployed three times in the last seven years in support of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The unit will provide an on-demand aviation asset to the Multinational Force and Observers commander to support its mission of supervising the security provisions of the Egypt/ Israel Peace Treaty.

Yesterday, the Los Angeles Times reported:
昨天洛杉磯時報報導reported:

The Pentagon is moving U.S. warships and other military assets to make sure it is prepared in case evacuation of U.S. citizens from Egypt becomes necessary, officials said Friday.
五角大樓正在移動它的美國軍艦和其它軍事資產，以確保它準備好在從埃及撤僑的情況下變成必需品，官員星期五說。
The Kearsarge, an amphibious assault ship carrying 700 to 800 troops from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and the Ponce have arrived in the Red Sea, putting them off Egypt’s shores in case the situation worsens.
基爾薩吉是一艘兩棲攻擊艦，從海軍陸戰隊第26遠征部隊攜帶700至800名部隊，和龐塞已到達紅海，把它們放在埃及離岸，以防局勢惡化。
Pentagon officials emphasized that military intervention in Egypt was not being contemplated and that the warships were being moved only for contingency purposes in case evacuations became necessary.

In addition to the Marines, the Kearsarge normally carries around four dozen helicopters and harrier jets that would permit evacuations and other humanitarian operations, the officials said. More than 1,000 Marines from the Kearsarge were sent to Afghanistan last month on a temporary deployment, leaving roughly one-third still aboard, officials said.

The Kearsarge is an attack vessel.
基爾薩吉是一艘攻擊船。
