"Fighters deploy to SW Asia"

Fighters deploy
Coinciding with increased tensions with Iran over the resumption of
illicit uranium enrichment, the U.S. Air Force has dispatched
additional warplanes to the region in a not-so-subtle sign, military
sources say. An entire wing of F-16s, the Air National Guard's 122nd
Fighter Wing based in Fort Wayne, Ind., left for a base in southwest
Asia on Tuesday. A wing is usually about 72 aircraft and several
hundred support personnel. F-16s and support personnel from the 4th
Fighter Squadron of the 388th Fighter Wing based at Hill Air Force
Base, Utah, also deployed recently to Iraq. The squadron has 12 F-16s.
Both units' F-16s could be used in any military operation to take out
Iranian nuclear facilities. A spokesman for the U.S. Central Command
Air Forces, which runs air operations in the region, said the F-16
deployment of about 80 jets is part of a rotation and is not related to
Iran's uranium reprocessing.

When is Navy Air coming?

This is old news. It was reported on 30 Dec 05 by the Fort Wayne
News-Sentinel that the unit was deploying to SWA in the upcoming weeks as
part of a rotation (as stated).

Look around the adjacent waters of the region. It's already there.
