Elements of the French, Italian and U.S. maritime forces routinely operate together, fostering a cooperative approach towards regional security and stability. These training opportunities bring together three strategic NATO Allies strengthening interoperability and enhancing high-end cooperation.

“These activities strengthen our ability to operate together at the top of the spectrum. Developing this advanced level of interoperability takes time, commitment and energy, but it is a treasure we must preserve,” said Rear Admiral Christophe Cluzel, commanding the French carrier Charles de Gaulle’s Task Force 473.

“Sailing alongside our NATO allies is a primary objective of our Clemenceau 22 deployment. Events like this enhance our interoperability and strengthen the exchanges with our NATO partners, essential to European security in this strategic area,” he added.

The convergence of three NATO Allied aircraft carrier strike groups is a unique and incredible opportunity to work, operate and learn together. It is essential for improving interoperability and maintaining high readiness and strengthens cohesion and maritime integration.
