We might stage the parts of the 82nd Airborne in ... Kuwait?

Apparently a good deal of them have been moving out, lately.

... And use the MEUs somewhere else?

Invade 'Baluchistan'?

I dunno, seems like a bad idea, to do an airborne assault, when Iran seems to be capable of hitting F35s, which are signifcantly harder to spot than a C-130.

But the MEUs... you'd still have to sail the ships up through the strait.

You're not gonna airlift an amphib pocket carrier.

They basically have a big door in the back that can open and do a controlled partial flooding of an infernal dock, that the actual amphib assault IFVs and/or hovercraft launch out of.
