A string of security, logistical and weather problems has battered the plan to deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza through a U.S. military-built pier.
The US military should know this. They should be able to build piers like this while under active fire. This is one of the things we need for a world war style invasion (think WWII d-day)
Both are invalid - sure it needs to be fast - which is why they should practice this. Temporary means they plan to pick it up after practice. They should do yearly drills in different parts of the world (obviously with permission of the host country) just to prove they can.

That’s what I said. I was told things like “they wanted to do this fast, so they had to do it this way” and “this was only meant to be temporary.”
“Fast” means apparently taking months to build a floating platform.

There’s literally no reason I can think of to build a pier in the ocean without a strong storms contingency plan.
