Pictured: Platoon from HNLMS De Ruyter.
In the port of Lisbon on Saturday 30th June 2018 Commodore Mike Utley OBE formally handed over Command of the Standing NATO Maritime Group Two to his Dutch counterpart Commodore Boudewijn G.F.M. Boots. This marked the end of a year long UK commitment leading SNMG2. Rear Admiral James Morley assumed Command of SNMG2 during a ceremony in Souda Bay, Crete 12 months previously before handing over to Commodore Mike Utley on the 4th January 2018.
HNLMS De RUYTER assumed the SNMG2 Flagship role from HMS DUNCAN during the same ceremony, which was presided over by Commander Allied Maritime Command Vice Admiral Clive C C Johnstone CB CBE.
The Type 45 Destroyer HMS DUNCAN represents the most recent in a sequence of Royal Navy commitments to this significant NATO task. HMS DUNCAN has twice flown the COM SNMG2 pennant. HMS OCEAN and DUNCAN’s sister ship HMS DIAMOND have also assumed the Flagship role during the 12 month period. The UK also Commands the NATO Minehunting Force SNMCMG2 with HMS ENTERPRISE acting as the Flagship.
HMS Duncan is set to return to her homeport of Portsmouth on the 13th July after an eventful deployment which has seen her operate in the Black Sea and Mediterranean for six months. The Type 45 destroyer provided an air picture to NATO during the US/FR/UK air strikes in Syria and rescued two Algerian fishermen lost at sea for a number of days.

United Kingdom takes command of NATO Task Group
Pictured: Commodore James Morley RN, Commander Standing NATO Maritime Group 2.
On the 30th of June the UK took command of the Standing NATO Maritime Task Group 2 (SNMG2) at a ceremony at Souda Bay Naval Station on the Greek Island of Crete.
Rear Admiral Axel Deertz (German Navy) has been in command of the Task Group for six months and has handed command to Commodore James Morley (Royal Navy). During the ceremony HMS Duncan also took over the role of Task Group flagship from FGS Brandenberg.
The Task Group is made up of ships from a number of different NATO nations and has three main roles. Firstly to remain at a very high state of readiness should a reaction be needed to a military or humanitarian crisis. It can never be predicted what events or emerging threats may arise but the Task Group would be the first on call and ready to respond. To do this the Task Group conducts a series of exercises that are designed to ensure that the group has a good understanding of it’s capabilities. The Task Group is then able to operate as a combined, effective NATO force.

CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait — Soldiers from the 1st Theater Sustainment Command and the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) participated in various social and spiritual activities to celebrate the holiday season.
On Christmas Eve hundreds of service members, Department of Defense civilians and contractors gathered at a hangar decked out for the holidays. Put together by 1st TSC and 143d ESC Soldiers along with the helping hands of Morale, Welfare and Recreation employees, the event included a buffet dinner, a visit from St. Nicholas and a secret Santa gift exchange in front of a Christmas tree. Several Soldiers and civilians demonstrated their singing or dancing skills on stage during a “Camp Arifjan’s Got Talent” show judged by members of the 143d ESC’s junior enlisted ranks.
Though the celebration generated much laughter and applause from the lively crowd, some Soldiers opted to spend Christmas Eve at a more solemn venue.
Chaplains and chaplain assistants deployed to Camp Arifjan hosted a Christmas Eve vigil at the post chapel that evening. The nondenominational Christian service wove scripture readings and traditional Christmas carols before the congregation brought the service to its climax as it illuminated the chapel with hundreds of lit candles.
The celebration continued the next day with a 5k run and a Christmas feast served by the 1st TSC and 143d ESC’s senior leadership at Camp Arifjan’s Dining Facilities. The 143d ESC also hosted a barbecue lunch as well as various sporting activities such as volleyball and cornhole.

Highly-trained master riggers employed by JAXPORT tenant, Portus, performed a unique heavy lift operation this morning at the Blount Island Marine Terminal. The workers rigged and moved four U.S Marine Corps pre-positioning landing craft, each weighing 170,000 pounds.
Two of the vessels were moved from the water to a specially-designed crawler truck for refurbishment at the Blount Island Command. The two other landing craft were recently refurbished on land and were moved back into the water this morning.
Following an 18-month reconstruction project, the heavy lift cargo berth at Blount Island now ranks as one of the nation’s highest weight-bearing-capacity docks.
The recently completed capital project more than doubled the pounds-per-square-foot capability of JAXPORT’s Berth 31.

CLAY NATIONAL GUARD CENTER, Marietta, Ga., Feb. 10, 2013 – The Army National Guard (ARNG) Aviation Training and Assistance Team (ATAT) conducts 80 assistance visits every year to various ARNG aviation units and facilities across the 54 states and territories. The ARNG ATAT is headquartered in Georgia but draws upon the operational knowledge from 9+ states across the nation to help standardize and share best practices across ARNG aviation units.
Like most of her ATAT peers, Maj. Mary Beth Merrick the ATAT training and command programs subject matter expert, serves with her local unit giving her current insight and experience to share while evaluating and training other units.
“Army Schools do not teach program management, leaving an important role that ATAT now fills. Program management becomes On the Job Training where we can come along beside other Guardsmen sharing best practices to build effective and efficient programs.”
