NATO’s ability to conduct operations has not been undermined. Our forces remain ready and our crucial work goes on. In the Mediterranean Sea, patrols are on the lookout for suspicious vessels during Operation Sea Guardian.

Synopsis

From the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, NATO has implemented robust measures to limit the virus’ spread and minimise risks to our soldiers and civilians, and the communities they serve.
But NATO’s ability to conduct operations has not been undermined. Our forces remain ready. And our crucial work goes on.
In the Mediterranean Sea, Operation Sea Guardian is underway. The operation involves NATO ships carrying out patrols to look out for any suspicious vessels which could be linked to terrorist activities or human trafficking. The ship is supported by three submarines from Greece, Italy and Turkey, and will conduct focused patrols until 8 April 2020
This footage includes shots of the Turkish Navy corvette T.C.G. Büyükada en route to the eastern Mediterranean Sea as well as demonstrations by Turkish forces of a boarding operation and fast-roping from a helicopter.

Special operations on dry land are one thing – but quite another in the water. That’s why the Croatian Special Forces teamed up with the US Navy SEALs to hone their skills. Special Operations Forces from Croatia and the US linked up near the Adriatic city of Split to practise underwater infiltration, ship boarding and beach assaults. By training together in a challenging operational environment, the two teams of elite commandos got to exchange tactics while completing their training successfully. US Special Operations Forces regularly conduct Joint Combined Exchange Training, or JCET, with NATO Allied and partner forces. These training exercises ensure that, in the event of a crisis, NATO’s most elite forces can perform high-risk tasks together seamlessly.

Croatian Special Forces team up with US Navy SEALs
For the first time since the end of the Cold War, a US Navy aircraft carrier sailed under NATO command. The USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (CSG) first sailed under the command of Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO (STRIKFORNATO) in February 2022, during vigilance activity Neptune Strike 22, and most recently during Exercise Neptune Spear 22 in May. The carrier has sailed with CSGs from France, Italy and Spain since arriving in the Mediterranean Sea late last year. Together, the strike groups have practised operating as a combined maritime task force. Their carrier-launched fighter jets have helped secure the skies over the eastern part of the Alliance, providing a crucial show of support during a time of increased tensions. STRIKFORNATO, a naval command based in Portugal, provides command and control to Allied flotillas. Centralising control helps NATO better coordinate sea and air operations across ships from different countries.
