I underscored the importance of adaptability and foresight in safeguarding peace at the Ronald Reagan Missile Defense Conference. As we work to advance today’s Joint and combined missile defense capabilities, we must also start preparing now for the threats of the future.

April 3 Red Sea Update
Between approximately 3:49 to 10:00 a.m. (Sanaa time) on April 3, USS Gravely (DDG 107) and United States Central Command (CENTCOM) forces successfully engaged and destroyed one inbound anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) and two unmanned aerial systems (UAS) launched by Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists from Yemen towards USS Gravely in the Red Sea.
There were no injuries or damage reported by U.S., coalition, or commercial ships.
Additionally, during this timeframe CENTCOM forces destroyed a mobile surface-to-air missile system in Houthi controlled territory.
It was determined these systems presented a threat to U.S. and coalition forces and merchant vessels in the region.
U.S. Central Command is dedicated to protecting the freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for Coalition and merchant vessels.

🇳🇱🇱🇹 Amazing news! The Netherlands will deploy its Patriot air defence unit in Lithuania for an exercise this summer, lasting several weeks.
This exercise will be essential to strengthen joint air defence on NATO's Eastern flank. Thank you 🇳🇱 @Defensie!

The @USArmy's space and missile defense capabilities are essential to the Joint Force!
As I wrote in the @ArmyUniversity Military Review's Space and Missile Defense Special Edition, Space is now a warfighting domain and Missiles have increased their utility in both offensive and defensive capabilities.

At approximately 0830 (Sanaa time) on December 13, in the southern Red Sea, the Arleigh-Burke class guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) was responding to a mayday call from the Marshall Islands-flagged tanker Motor Vessel Ardmore Encounter, which was under attack from Houthi forces. These forces first attempted to board the tanker via skiffs.
When this was unsuccessful, a pair of missiles were fired from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen at the vessel, which both missed. While responding to the distress call, the Mason shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle also launched from Houthi-controlled areas. The UAV was heading directly towards the Mason and was shot down in self-defense. There were no injuries to personnel and no damage to any vessels. The Ardmore Encounter was able to proceed without further incident.

In response to recent escalations by Iran & its proxy forces across the Middle East, SecDef Austin directed the USS Eisenhower, a THAAD BTRY, & additional Patriot BNs to the CENTCOM region to increase force posture, strengthen capabilities & ability to respond to contingencies.
After detailed discussions with @POTUS on recent escalations by Iran & its proxy forces across the Middle East, I directed a series of additional steps to further strengthen DoD posture in the region.
