Lots of troops deployed to the Mediterranean… invasion force type of logistics and support. But who are we invading?

Can we declare war without a speaker of the house?
We don't declare war anymore. We go on "peace keeping expeditions."
I was thinking this too, and thought the answer was no. Cannot declare war, nor can we approve sending aid (financial). So I'm reading all this as very much planned. No speaker means a suspension of our [direct] involvement of any kind
White House can use the Marines up to a year on the ground before Congress can declare war but only the Marines. Other units can provide support but only Marines are allowed on ground operations without a declaration of War. But there is obviously non public SOC that could be going on too.
