DEAD IN THE WATER: Bombshell Report Finds Biden's Failed Gaza Pier Left 62 US Forces Injured, One Dead and Caused $31M in Damages

Another Biden fiasco…

Former President Joe Biden’s botched Gaza pier stunt left one U.S. service member dead, 62 injured, and racked up over $31 million in equipment damage, according to a damning Pentagon watchdog report.

The plan — announced in Biden’s 2024 State of the Union to appease pro-Hamas voices on the left — collapsed after just 20 days of operation. The Pentagon’s inspector general slammed the Army and Navy for launching the mission without proper planning, training, or coordination, pushing ahead despite being understaffed, undertrained, and ill-equipped.

“The Army and Navy did not allocate sufficient maintenance, manning, [or] training,” according to the report, which also found that the services “did not organize, train, and equip to a common joint standard” for the so-called “joint logistics over-the-shore” (JLOTS) operation.

From The New York Post:

The disjointed nature of the effort contributed to 27 watercraft and other paraphernalia suffering damage costing $31 million to repair, the report found, as “Army- and Navy-specific equipment, including watercraft, piers, and causeways, as well as command, control, and communications systems was not interoperable.”

This week’s report follows a similar review by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of the Inspector General from August 2024 — which found Biden charged ahead with the $230 million pier despite the urgings of multiple federal aid workers.

Army officials interviewed by the DoD OIG noted that “the lack of interoperability created challenges during (the Gaza operation), resulting in equipment damage and communications security risks,” according to the report.

US Central Command reported 62 injuries during the course of Operation Neptune Solace, though the report said it was unclear whether they happened “during the performance of duties or resulted off duty or from pre-existing medical conditions.”

The Pentagon had previously confirmed that three service members were injured May 23, 2024, as the result of a non-combat incident during the operation.

One of those injured, Army Sgt. Quandarius Davon Stanley, 23, died Oct. 31 while under long-term medical care.
