Washington Carrier Group

Admiral Fitzwallace directs the Washington Carrier Group into the Gulf alongside C-130s and Blackhawks to strike three Bahji camps in Qumar. This U.S. Navy carrier strike group supports attacks on Bahji C3I targets amid the Zoey kidnapping crisis. Bartlet orders the broader 5th Fleet into position, positioning the group as a key asset for calibrated escalation and show-of-force operations without immediate full war.
