Southern Command is responsible for the Caribbean Sea, Central and South America and the surrounding waters.<\/p>\n<p>Parnell said the &#8220;enhanced U.S. force presence&#8221; will &#8220;bolster U.S. capacity to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of the United States homeland and our security in the Western Hemisphere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The USS Gerald R. Ford is the Navy&#8217;s newest and most advanced aircraft carrier, having been commissioned into service in 2017. At more than 1,100 ft. long with a displacement of 100,000 long tons, the carrier is the largest in the world. It&#8217;s powered by two nuclear reactors and can reach a top speed of 34.5 mph, according to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airlant.usff.navy.mil\/Organization\/Aircraft-Carriers\/USS-Gerald-R-Ford-CVN-78\/Command-History\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Navy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The carrier group will join eight U.S. vessels that are already in the region, including three destroyers, one cruiser, a littoral combat ship, an amphibious assault ship and two transport ships.<\/p>\n<p>The Ford is currently in the Mediterranean Sea, a defense official told CBS News, along with three destroyers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/10\/24\/e6e24636-17b2-42e3-a5e3-1356d3b37e37\/thumbnail\/620x392g4\/0fd02c90337583df48d5f89488a10cc3\/gettyimages-666333580.jpg#\" alt=\"The USS Gerald R.

The first several took place in the Caribbean Sea, but this week, the administration&#8217;s campaign broadened into the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n<section
