The combined forces of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 5 and Maritime Task Flotilla (MTF) 7 operated together during this bilateral exercise aimed at strengthening the interoperability of the two navies.

“The U.S. Navy and ROK Navy have a water-tight, iron clad relationship. This opportunity allows us to come together and exercise our interoperability and integration as like-minded allies, with common commitment to the security and stability of the region. Our navies are demonstrating the ability to conduct combined operations, whenever and where ever required to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific.”
