Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, said in the release. \u201cIntegrating and deploying our new capabilities together will help us rapidly realize the new possibilities that are on the horizon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scorpion Strike was the first to launch an aerial attack drone from a U.S. Navy warship last December, the month of its announcement. The unit also deployed one-way unmanned aerial systems during Operation Epic Fury and during strikes on Iranian port facilities in July with unmanned attack vessels at sea, the statement highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CENTCOM began consulting with and officially inviting regional partners to join Falcon Strike, aiming to expand attack-drone capabilities across the Middle East into a \u201cunified multi-domain, multinational deterrent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe United States military has a lot of strong partnerships and friends in the region,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cWe are collectively stronger when we integrate and deploy new capabilities together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release did not specify which regional partners CENTCOM is working with on the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personnel from the U.S. Special Operations Command Central, located at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, will lead Falcon Strike\u2019s staff of U.S. and regional representatives after it launched Scorpion Strike, the release states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement comes as the U.S. continues its war with Iran, which has depleted the U.S. <a
