The Eisenhower returned to Naval Station Norfolk in July, concluding a total of 275 days underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Ryder declined Tuesday to provide specifics regarding how long he expects an enhanced presence of roughly 40,000 U.S. troops \u2014 up from 32,000 troops \u2014 will remain in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve had a significant force presence in the Middle East for a very long time. \u2026 I don\u2019t foresee that changing anytime soon,\u201d Ryder said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ryder also said 11 U.S. personnel were treated for traumatic brain injury and smoke inhalation following an attack Aug. 9 at the Rumalyn Landing Zone American base in Syria.
