US Military Ends Gaza Floating Pier Mission Leaving Humanitarian Aid Sitting Around

The U.S. military announced on Wednesday that its mission to install and operate a temporary, floating pier off the coast of Gaza was complete, formally ending an extraordinary but troubled effort to bring humanitarian aid to Palestinians.
The pier, announced by President Joe Biden during a televised address to Congress in March, was a massive endeavor that took about 1,000 U.S. forces to execute. Aid began flowing via the pier to Gaza in May, an operation aimed at helping avert famine after months of war between Israel and Hamas.

Bad math, unable to look at historical weather, = FAILURE

From day 1 people said it was unsustainable

At least the military will benefit from the experience of deploying the system and operating it in adverse conditions. They did their job. Third parties failed in their roles to deliver the cargo to the intended recipients.
