Every naval fleet has U.S. Marines. They can carry out any orders given to them. I’m sure 12 hours would be an easily achievable time frame for landing forces given that we already know they are being positioned. There are 10 task forces within the fleet and most of them have amphibious ready groups. At least one is a Special Ops capable Marine MEU.

Don’t worry, Libya is mentioned in the first line of the first verse of the Marine’s Hymn, “to the shores of Tripoli”. The Marines are not likely to screw anything up when it comes to such a historical value. That’s how they make Marines, teaching history and pride in the Corps.

No one should be giving you an answer to this question, that type of information is sensitive and doesn’t belong on an open source.
