A CENTCOM spokesman said the military regularly moves service members.
Talks between the U.S. and Iran have stalled despite the two countries signing a memorandum of understanding in June, aimed at ending the war.
The two sides have since exchanged strikes. The U.S. says it is enforcing a blockade preventing any Iranian ships from entering or leaving the country, while Iran claims the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
The U.S. also continues to accuse Iran of targeting commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a flashpoint in the war.
Meanwhile, the Iranian-backed Houthis repeatedly attacked Saudi Arabian military and oil infrastructure facilities. This lead to intensified fighting in Yemen between the Houthis and Saudi-backed Yemeni forces. Saudi Arabia has also gathered an international coalition to fight off the Houthis.

At least one person was killed and eight others injured in an attack on the King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday, according to the Saudi civil aviation authority.
The injuries ranged from minor to severe, the authority said.
"The attack also resulted in material damage, which is currently being assessed," the authority said in a statement.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Brig. Gen. Yadollah Javani warned that Iran could target seven critical undersea internet cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. resumes attacks on Iran.
"The Americans and their allies possess significant assets; should they seek to damage our infrastructure, it is only natural that the Islamic Republic would leverage its full capabilities to readily destroy their assets and holdings, including the seven critical internet cables that run underwater through the Strait of Hormuz," Javani said in an interview with the state-run Al-Alam News Agency.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Centre on Wednesday reported an attack on a tanker in the northern Persian Gulf off the coast of Iraq that took place on Tuesday.
"The master of a tanker reports being struck by an unknown projectile, the crew are reported as safe and there is no reported damage or environmental impact," the UKMTO's advisory said. The incident took place 30 nautical miles southeast of Al Faw, Iraq, it added.
In a separate report, the UKMTO said that another tanker was hit by an unknown projectile off the coast of Oman in the early hours of Wednesday. The attack caused a fire which has since been extinguished, it said.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Wednesday during his trip to India that President Donald Trump's administration will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.
Rubio confirmed that third-party countries such as Qatar are still working as intermediaries to bring Iran back to the negotiating table amid stalled peace talks.
Rubio added that the U.S. commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons -- an alleged ambition that Tehran has repeatedly denied -- will continue for as long as Trump is in office.
"At the core of all of this is something very simple to understand: the United States will not support any deal that creates a pathway for Iran to ever have a nuclear weapon. As long as President Trump is in office," Rubio said.
