The US military is planning a more extensive military operation against regime targets in Syria than had been previously planned, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.

Unnamed “US officers” told the paper that the Pentagon is drawing up plans for 3 days of strikes against a list of targets significantly longer than the original list of 50, though it is still expected to be more a “show of force” than an attempt to influence events on the battlefield.

According to the report, the US military could utilize Air Force bombers, in addition to five US missile destroyers currently patrolling the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The plan would include two waves of strikes: an initial barrage against the extended list of targets, to be followed by a secondary one which would aim to strike missed targets, or those which hadn’t been destroyed by the first.

The attack would involve the use of cruise missiles and air-to-surface missiles which would be lanched from outside of the range of Syrian air defenses.

The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group, which includes cruiser USS Princeton and the destroyers USS William P. Lawrence, USS Stockdale and USS Shoup, could be included in the operation.
