Elements of the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division were secretly deployed to Israel in early April, as part of joint contingency planning between Israel and the United States, completed since February, for seizing Iranian-controlled Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf and carving out coastal territory inside Iran, according to a deployment order seen by Ken Klippenstein.
The order, issued April 7, 2026, directed paratroopers from the 2nd Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division – the storied “Geronimo!” Battalion – to deploy to Israel on “temporary duty,” in a move not previously reported by the Pentagon. Asked about the number of troops deployed to Israel and their mission, the Pentagon referred questions to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
