United States Marine Corps Major Gen. Chris A. McPhillips reportedly announced Tuesday that the 248th Marine Corps Ball has been canceled by U.S. Central Command as a result of “unforeseen operational commitments.”

Announcing the cancelation of this year’s Marine Corps Ball, McPhillips wrote, “Regretfully and with a strong sense of duty, I write to inform you of a decision that I had to make regarding the Marine Corps 248th Ball, scheduled for 16 November 2023. Due to unforeseen operational commitments and the nature of our current mission, it is with great regret that we must cancel this year’s event.”

McPhillips explained that Central Command’s decision to cancel the 258th Marine Corps Ball stems from the “primary responsibility” the Marine Corps has to guarantee the defense and security of the United States. “It is this commitment to duty that has necessitated the cancellation of what would undoubtedly have been an exceptional evening of camaraderie and tradition,” he said.

According to U.S. Central Command’s website, CENTCOM’s area of responsibility includes over 4 million square miles with multiple opportunities for “tension and rivalry.”

“The central region is among the least secure and stable places of the world. Adversarial relationships among neighboring states, widespread ethnic and sectarian struggles, malign influence and destabilizing activities, cyber-based threats, and growing arsenals of sophisticated conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction all combine to imperil enduring U.S. vital national interests, as well as those of our trusted partners and allies,” CENTCOM’s website states.

The announcement of the Marine Corps Ball comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East, including the war between Israel and Hamas that started after Hamas terrorists brutally attacked Israel last month. Additionally, the Department of Defense has recorded 27 total attacks against U.S. forces in the Middle East since Oct. 17. On the same day as the cancelation announcement, the Pentagon announced the deployment of 300 additional U.S. troops to the Middle East.

That sucks

Is it dance like you fight, or fight like you dance?

I couldn't cut it either way, so .....Semper FI!

I read that the Commandant had a heart attack the other day too.

Hezbollah is going to declare war tomorrow and we are going to put Marines in the ground in northern Israel.

Calling my shot now.

we maybes at da brink of WW III... or.... Deys wants us ta "think" we at the brink of wurl war tree... jus dat!...

248th or 258th?

I gotta idea. How bout they continue the Ball, and send true Patriots like Jag to the front lines !

If Trump was in charge it wouldn't have been canceled.

Another psychological action to shake out more independence of the Corps.

A good proofreader would have substituted "emerging" for "unforeseen". Sounds more on top of things.

Sucks to have a party canceled at effectively the last minute, especially deployed.

The invasion in Israel, Ukraine or along or southern border?

Just a bunch of drama.

Israel is going to crush Hamas one tunnel at a time and no country is going to do squat. No Arab country cares two wits about the Palestinian people. It's all talk to placate their home grown radical Muslims. They are not going to risk open warfare themselves.

That said, there i going to be increased riots and tensions from the Muslim diaspora. That is going to get much worse.

Due to all of their dance partners putting out to sea...

😁😅😅🤣🤣🤣

I have never been so damn drunk as I was at 2nd Batt 6th Marines 2006 Marine Corps ball.

HO LEE FÜCK.

Stupid… if you can’t take q night off, you’re not running things correctly. The “duty” crew would be manning the Command center and of they can’t handle it for a while, they shouldn’t be there….
