The chance to integrate Special Operations Forces (SOF)and a carrier strike group in a full-scale exercise is incredibly important, said Capt. Alec Mackenzie, the Special Operations Task Force commander. Operating from an afloat staging base gives our forces dramatically increased reach and provides an opportunity to refine tactics, techniques and procedures in a challenging environment. This makes Maritime SOF more effective and provides the requisite experience to conduct real-world contingency operations as needed.
