VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

On May 6 2013 the secretary directed the services and defense agencies to strengthen theprogram in commander accountability command climate victim advocacy and safety

The secretarys initiatives announced today strengthen these areas further They include

-- The secretary directed the services to improve victim legal support He directed the servicesecretaries to create a legal advocacy program to provide legal representation to sexual assaultvictims throughout the judicial process He set Nov 1 2013 as an initial operating capacity forthis and for it to be fully functional by Jan 1 2014

-- Hagel directed that pre-trial investigative hearings of sexual assault-related charges areconducted by Judge Advocate General officers

-- The secretary directed service secretaries to enhance protections calling on them to developand implement policies allowing for the reassignment or transfer of members accused ofcommitting sexual assault or related offense Hagel wants this done in order to eliminatecontinued contact while respecting the rights of both victims and the accused

-- Hagel is requiring timely follow-up reports on sexual assault incidents and responses to begiven to the first general or flag officer within the chain of command

-- He also directed the DOD Inspector General to regularly evaluate closed sexual assaultinvestigations

-- And Hagel directed the DOD general council to develop and propose changes to the Manual forCourts-Martial that would allow victims to give input during the sentencing phase of courts-martial

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice William Blees Navy Public Affairs Support Element West Det Northwest

PORT ANGELES Wash (NNS) -- The 65PB1101 coastal command patrol boat (CCB) departed PortAngeles Wash to transit to San Diego Calif Aug 5-11

The boat was manned by a Fleet Integration Team consisting entirely of Navy Reservists

The CCB underwent developmental testing in the Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fucafrom April to August 2013 During testing the boat encountered wave heights of 4-6 feet

The 65 foot 50-ton boat was built in Bremerton and Tacoma Wash and expands thecapabilities of the Navy with its flexibility

This boat helps bridge the gap between the large ship navy and the near-coastal assets saidSenior Enlisted Advisor Master Chief Petty Officer Joe Manning assigned to Coastal RiverineGroup 1 (CRG-1)

The CCB has increased capability amongst existing Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC)craft including 24-hour mission capability ergonomic equipment design both remote and crew-served weapon systems and a robust communications suite

The arrival of the Coastal Command Boat marks a critical milestone for the Coastal RiverineForce in which new technologies are expanding our teams ability to support broader missions andbattlespace said Capt Chris Peterschmidt commander of CRG-1 CRG-1 looks forward toleading the way as we man train and equip the craft and crew for deployment early next year

The boat contains a hydraulic crane and shock mitigating seating for 18 crew members The boatalso features sound-deadening curtains which separate the berthing area from the galley and anelectronics space and sound-deadening floor mats which isolate the pilothouse main cabin andgalley from machinery and hull-borne noise

The CCB shares many design philosophies and technologies of the next generation of NECC boatssuch as the MK-VI Patrol Boat for coastal operations

CRG-1 is scheduled to take custody of the CCB and the boat will be placed in service in earlySeptember 2013

In conjunction with the arrival of the CCB and other riverine assets during July and August of2013 CRG-1 has taken significant steps in establishing the first West Coast riverine capability

The Coastal Riverine Force is a core Navy capability that provides port and harbor security highvalue asset protection and maritime security operations in coastal and inland waterways

Bonhomme Richard ARG 31st MEUConduct VBSS ExerciseStory Number NNS130815-20 Release Date 8152013 85400 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III Navy Public Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conducted a visit boardsearch and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboard USNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for the flow ofcommercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer for Amphibious Squadron(PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring and preventing illegal activity on the highseas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to support continued maritimeinterdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutions and to deter illegal activity Theyare conducted by sending boarding teams to search a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatableboat (RHIB) or helicopter If the vessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boardingteam can secure the vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defense tacticsboarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lot of cargo shipsand theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job to be ready to repel thatthreat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certification exercise(CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice was given to BonhommeRichard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning the boarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it] required the sameextensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSS operations Navy ships routinely conductsaid Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-level integrationbetween Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps elite VBSS force is theMaritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreen team and uses the full spectrum ofARGMEU support resources such as aircraft and small boats in order to successfully execute aparticular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time this particularBlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The team gelled quickly and plannedand executed a safe and coordinated mission involving numerous air platforms originating fromboth Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot of coordinationwith different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) the Navy side orMarine Force Recon team I think the operation went extremely smoothly There are alwaysthings to improve and tighten up in any mission but overall I feel like things went extremelywell

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded by Capt CathalOConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 and reports to the CommanderAmphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harley headquartered in White BeachOkinawa Japan

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

On May 6 2013 the secretary directed the services and defense agencies to strengthen theprogram in commander accountability command climate victim advocacy and safety

The secretarys initiatives announced today strengthen these areas further They include

-- The secretary directed the services to improve victim legal support He directed the servicesecretaries to create a legal advocacy program to provide legal representation to sexual assaultvictims throughout the judicial process He set Nov 1 2013 as an initial operating capacity forthis and for it to be fully functional by Jan 1 2014

-- Hagel directed that pre-trial investigative hearings of sexual assault-related charges areconducted by Judge Advocate General officers

-- The secretary directed service secretaries to enhance protections calling on them to developand implement policies allowing for the reassignment or transfer of members accused ofcommitting sexual assault or related offense Hagel wants this done in order to eliminatecontinued contact while respecting the rights of both victims and the accused

-- Hagel is requiring timely follow-up reports on sexual assault incidents and responses to begiven to the first general or flag officer within the chain of command

-- He also directed the DOD Inspector General to regularly evaluate closed sexual assaultinvestigations

-- Hagel ordered the service secretaries to standardize prohibitions on inappropriate behaviorbetween recruiters and trainers and their recruits and trainees across the department

-- And Hagel directed the DOD general council to develop and propose changes to the Manual forCourts-Martial that would allow victims to give input during the sentencing phase of courts-martial

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice William Blees Navy Public Affairs Support Element West Det Northwest

PORT ANGELES Wash (NNS) -- The 65PB1101 coastal command patrol boat (CCB) departed PortAngeles Wash to transit to San Diego Calif Aug 5-11

The boat was manned by a Fleet Integration Team consisting entirely of Navy Reservists

The CCB underwent developmental testing in the Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fucafrom April to August 2013 During testing the boat encountered wave heights of 4-6 feet

The 65 foot 50-ton boat was built in Bremerton and Tacoma Wash and expands thecapabilities of the Navy with its flexibility

This boat helps bridge the gap between the large ship navy and the near-coastal assets saidSenior Enlisted Advisor Master Chief Petty Officer Joe Manning assigned to Coastal RiverineGroup 1 (CRG-1)

The CCB has increased capability amongst existing Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC)craft including 24-hour mission capability ergonomic equipment design both remote and crew-served weapon systems and a robust communications suite

The arrival of the Coastal Command Boat marks a critical milestone for the Coastal RiverineForce in which new technologies are expanding our teams ability to support broader missions andbattlespace said Capt Chris Peterschmidt commander of CRG-1 CRG-1 looks forward toleading the way as we man train and equip the craft and crew for deployment early next year

The boat contains a hydraulic crane and shock mitigating seating for 18 crew members The boatalso features sound-deadening curtains which separate the berthing area from the galley and anelectronics space and sound-deadening floor mats which isolate the pilothouse main cabin andgalley from machinery and hull-borne noise

The CCB shares many design philosophies and technologies of the next generation of NECC boatssuch as the MK-VI Patrol Boat for coastal operations

CRG-1 is scheduled to take custody of the CCB and the boat will be placed in service in earlySeptember 2013

In conjunction with the arrival of the CCB and other riverine assets during July and August of2013 CRG-1 has taken significant steps in establishing the first West Coast riverine capability

The Coastal Riverine Force is a core Navy capability that provides port and harbor security highvalue asset protection and maritime security operations in coastal and inland waterways

Bonhomme Richard ARG 31st MEUConduct VBSS ExerciseStory Number NNS130815-20 Release Date 8152013 85400 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III Navy Public Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conducted a visit boardsearch and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboard USNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for the flow ofcommercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer for Amphibious Squadron(PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring and preventing illegal activity on the highseas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to support continued maritimeinterdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutions and to deter illegal activity Theyare conducted by sending boarding teams to search a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatableboat (RHIB) or helicopter If the vessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boardingteam can secure the vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defense tacticsboarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lot of cargo shipsand theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job to be ready to repel thatthreat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certification exercise(CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice was given to BonhommeRichard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning the boarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it] required the sameextensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSS operations Navy ships routinely conductsaid Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-level integrationbetween Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps elite VBSS force is theMaritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreen team and uses the full spectrum ofARGMEU support resources such as aircraft and small boats in order to successfully execute aparticular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time this particularBlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The team gelled quickly and plannedand executed a safe and coordinated mission involving numerous air platforms originating fromboth Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot of coordinationwith different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) the Navy side orMarine Force Recon team I think the operation went extremely smoothly There are alwaysthings to improve and tighten up in any mission but overall I feel like things went extremelywell

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded by Capt CathalOConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 and reports to the CommanderAmphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harley headquartered in White BeachOkinawa Japan

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

On May 6 2013 the secretary directed the services and defense agencies to strengthen theprogram in commander accountability command climate victim advocacy and safety

The secretarys initiatives announced today strengthen these areas further They include

-- The secretary directed the services to improve victim legal support He directed the servicesecretaries to create a legal advocacy program to provide legal representation to sexual assaultvictims throughout the judicial process He set Nov 1 2013 as an initial operating capacity forthis and for it to be fully functional by Jan 1 2014

-- Hagel directed that pre-trial investigative hearings of sexual assault-related charges areconducted by Judge Advocate General officers

-- The secretary directed service secretaries to enhance protections calling on them to developand implement policies allowing for the reassignment or transfer of members accused ofcommitting sexual assault or related offense Hagel wants this done in order to eliminatecontinued contact while respecting the rights of both victims and the accused

-- Hagel is requiring timely follow-up reports on sexual assault incidents and responses to begiven to the first general or flag officer within the chain of command

The project team and crews combined pride and work ethic drove them to success as they metthe overhauls key dates including undocking three days early - none of which would have beenpossible without the maintenance partnership with the Pittsburgh crew lead by commandingofficer Cmdr William Solomon

Cmdr Solomon and the crew of Pittsburgh were side-by-side with the shipyard in overcomingeach and every obstacle said Capt James Kalowsky PNSY operations officer They trulyexemplified the ships motto and displayed a heart of steel

The on-time and on-budget completion of submarine availabilities is critical in the maintenance oftodays fleet and is essential to maintaining readiness PNSY remains devoted to the technicalexcellence and judiciousness that is required to meet schedule and budget demands

This shipyard has been providing for the defense of this country and maintaining the Navy formore than 200 years said Capt William Greene shipyard commander The platforms may havechanged from sailing ships to nuclear-powered submarines but one thing that will always remainis the traditional Portsmouth quality work which continues to safely deliver excellence for thenation and the Navy

The CCB shares many design philosophies and technologies of the next generation of NECC boatssuch as the MK-VI Patrol Boat for coastal operations

CRG-1 is scheduled to take custody of the CCB and the boat will be placed in service in earlySeptember 2013

In conjunction with the arrival of the CCB and other riverine assets during July and August of2013 CRG-1 has taken significant steps in establishing the first West Coast riverine capability

Bonhomme Richard ARG 31st MEUConduct VBSS ExerciseStory Number NNS130815-20 Release Date 8152013 85400 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III Navy Public Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conducted a visit boardsearch and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboard USNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for the flow ofcommercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer for Amphibious Squadron(PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring and preventing illegal activity on the highseas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to support continued maritimeinterdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutions and to deter illegal activity Theyare conducted by sending boarding teams to search a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatableboat (RHIB) or helicopter If the vessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boardingteam can secure the vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defense tacticsboarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lot of cargo shipsand theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job to be ready to repel thatthreat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certification exercise(CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice was given to BonhommeRichard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning the boarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it] required the sameextensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSS operations Navy ships routinely conductsaid Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-level integrationbetween Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps elite VBSS force is theMaritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreen team and uses the full spectrum ofARGMEU support resources such as aircraft and small boats in order to successfully execute aparticular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time this particularBlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The team gelled quickly and plannedand executed a safe and coordinated mission involving numerous air platforms originating fromboth Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot of coordinationwith different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) the Navy side orMarine Force Recon team I think the operation went extremely smoothly There are alwaysthings to improve and tighten up in any mission but overall I feel like things went extremelywell

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded by Capt CathalOConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 and reports to the CommanderAmphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harley headquartered in White BeachOkinawa Japan

Off-yard availabilities are unique and require an all-inclusive team mentality fromplanning to execution said Don Robinson deputy project superintendent The can-do attitude of our entire team made small work of even first-time challengesthroughout the execution period

The project team and crews combined pride and work ethic drove them to successas they met the overhauls key dates including undocking three days early - none ofwhich would have been possible without the maintenance partnership with thePittsburgh crew lead by commanding officer Cmdr William Solomon

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

The secretarys initiatives announced today strengthen these areas further They include

-- The secretary directed the services to improve victim legal support He directed the servicesecretaries to create a legal advocacy program to provide legal representation to sexual assaultvictims throughout the judicial process He set Nov 1 2013 as an initial operating capacity forthis and for it to be fully functional by Jan 1 2014

-- Hagel directed that pre-trial investigative hearings of sexual assault-related charges areconducted by Judge Advocate General officers

-- The secretary directed service secretaries to enhance protections calling on them to developand implement policies allowing for the reassignment or transfer of members accused ofcommitting sexual assault or related offense Hagel wants this done in order to eliminatecontinued contact while respecting the rights of both victims and the accused

The project team and crews combined pride and work ethic drove them to success as they metthe overhauls key dates including undocking three days early - none of which would have beenpossible without the maintenance partnership with the Pittsburgh crew lead by commandingofficer Cmdr William Solomon

Cmdr Solomon and the crew of Pittsburgh were side-by-side with the shipyard in overcomingeach and every obstacle said Capt James Kalowsky PNSY operations officer They trulyexemplified the ships motto and displayed a heart of steel

Coastal Command Patrol Boat Arrivesin San DiegoStory Number NNS130815-15 Release Date 8152013 25700 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice William Blees Navy Public Affairs Support Element West Det Northwest

PORT ANGELES Wash (NNS) -- The 65PB1101 coastal command patrol boat (CCB) departed PortAngeles Wash to transit to San Diego Calif Aug 5-11

The boat was manned by a Fleet Integration Team consisting entirely of Navy Reservists

The CCB underwent developmental testing in the Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fucafrom April to August 2013 During testing the boat encountered wave heights of 4-6 feet

The 65 foot 50-ton boat was built in Bremerton and Tacoma Wash and expands thecapabilities of the Navy with its flexibility

This boat helps bridge the gap between the large ship navy and the near-coastal assets saidSenior Enlisted Advisor Master Chief Petty Officer Joe Manning assigned to Coastal RiverineGroup 1 (CRG-1)

The CCB has increased capability amongst existing Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC)craft including 24-hour mission capability ergonomic equipment design both remote and crew-served weapon systems and a robust communications suite

The arrival of the Coastal Command Boat marks a critical milestone for the Coastal RiverineForce in which new technologies are expanding our teams ability to support broader missions andbattlespace said Capt Chris Peterschmidt commander of CRG-1 CRG-1 looks forward toleading the way as we man train and equip the craft and crew for deployment early next year

The boat contains a hydraulic crane and shock mitigating seating for 18 crew members The boatalso features sound-deadening curtains which separate the berthing area from the galley and anelectronics space and sound-deadening floor mats which isolate the pilothouse main cabin andgalley from machinery and hull-borne noise

The CCB shares many design philosophies and technologies of the next generation of NECC boatssuch as the MK-VI Patrol Boat for coastal operations

CRG-1 is scheduled to take custody of the CCB and the boat will be placed in service in earlySeptember 2013

Bonhomme Richard ARG 31st MEUConduct VBSS ExerciseStory Number NNS130815-20 Release Date 8152013 85400 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III Navy Public Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conducted a visit boardsearch and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboard USNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for the flow ofcommercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer for Amphibious Squadron(PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring and preventing illegal activity on the highseas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to support continued maritimeinterdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutions and to deter illegal activity Theyare conducted by sending boarding teams to search a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatableboat (RHIB) or helicopter If the vessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boardingteam can secure the vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defense tacticsboarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lot of cargo shipsand theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job to be ready to repel thatthreat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certification exercise(CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice was given to BonhommeRichard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning the boarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it] required the sameextensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSS operations Navy ships routinely conductsaid Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-level integrationbetween Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps elite VBSS force is theMaritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreen team and uses the full spectrum ofARGMEU support resources such as aircraft and small boats in order to successfully execute aparticular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time this particularBlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The team gelled quickly and plannedand executed a safe and coordinated mission involving numerous air platforms originating fromboth Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot of coordinationwith different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) the Navy side orMarine Force Recon team I think the operation went extremely smoothly There are alwaysthings to improve and tighten up in any mission but overall I feel like things went extremelywell

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded by Capt CathalOConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 and reports to the CommanderAmphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harley headquartered in White BeachOkinawa Japan

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious ReadyGroup (ARG) in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit(MEU) conducted a visit board search and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboardUSNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded byCapt Cathal OConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 andreports to the Commander Amphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harleyheadquartered in White Beach Okinawa Japan

The project team and crews combined pride and work ethic drove them to success as they metthe overhauls key dates including undocking three days early - none of which would have beenpossible without the maintenance partnership with the Pittsburgh crew lead by commandingofficer Cmdr William Solomon

Cmdr Solomon and the crew of Pittsburgh were side-by-side with the shipyard in overcomingeach and every obstacle said Capt James Kalowsky PNSY operations officer They trulyexemplified the ships motto and displayed a heart of steel

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice William Blees Navy Public Affairs Support Element West Det Northwest

PORT ANGELES Wash (NNS) -- The 65PB1101 coastal command patrol boat (CCB) departed PortAngeles Wash to transit to San Diego Calif Aug 5-11

The boat was manned by a Fleet Integration Team consisting entirely of Navy Reservists

The CCB underwent developmental testing in the Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fucafrom April to August 2013 During testing the boat encountered wave heights of 4-6 feet

The 65 foot 50-ton boat was built in Bremerton and Tacoma Wash and expands thecapabilities of the Navy with its flexibility

This boat helps bridge the gap between the large ship navy and the near-coastal assets saidSenior Enlisted Advisor Master Chief Petty Officer Joe Manning assigned to Coastal RiverineGroup 1 (CRG-1)

The CCB has increased capability amongst existing Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC)craft including 24-hour mission capability ergonomic equipment design both remote and crew-served weapon systems and a robust communications suite

The arrival of the Coastal Command Boat marks a critical milestone for the Coastal RiverineForce in which new technologies are expanding our teams ability to support broader missions andbattlespace said Capt Chris Peterschmidt commander of CRG-1 CRG-1 looks forward toleading the way as we man train and equip the craft and crew for deployment early next year

The boat contains a hydraulic crane and shock mitigating seating for 18 crew members The boatalso features sound-deadening curtains which separate the berthing area from the galley and anelectronics space and sound-deadening floor mats which isolate the pilothouse main cabin andgalley from machinery and hull-borne noise

The CCB shares many design philosophies and technologies of the next generation of NECC boatssuch as the MK-VI Patrol Boat for coastal operations

CRG-1 is scheduled to take custody of the CCB and the boat will be placed in service in earlySeptember 2013

In conjunction with the arrival of the CCB and other riverine assets during July and August of2013 CRG-1 has taken significant steps in establishing the first West Coast riverine capability

The Coastal Riverine Force is a core Navy capability that provides port and harbor security highvalue asset protection and maritime security operations in coastal and inland waterways

Bonhomme Richard ARG 31st MEUConduct VBSS ExerciseStory Number NNS130815-20 Release Date 8152013 85400 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III Navy Public Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conducted a visit boardsearch and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboard USNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for the flow ofcommercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer for Amphibious Squadron(PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring and preventing illegal activity on the highseas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to support continued maritimeinterdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutions and to deter illegal activity Theyare conducted by sending boarding teams to search a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatableboat (RHIB) or helicopter If the vessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boardingteam can secure the vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defense tacticsboarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lot of cargo shipsand theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job to be ready to repel thatthreat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certification exercise(CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice was given to BonhommeRichard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning the boarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it] required the sameextensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSS operations Navy ships routinely conductsaid Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-level integrationbetween Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps elite VBSS force is theMaritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreen team and uses the full spectrum ofARGMEU support resources such as aircraft and small boats in order to successfully execute aparticular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time this particularBlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The team gelled quickly and plannedand executed a safe and coordinated mission involving numerous air platforms originating fromboth Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot of coordinationwith different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) the Navy side orMarine Force Recon team I think the operation went extremely smoothly There are alwaysthings to improve and tighten up in any mission but overall I feel like things went extremelywell

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded by Capt CathalOConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 and reports to the CommanderAmphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harley headquartered in White BeachOkinawa Japan

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious ReadyGroup (ARG) in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit(MEU) conducted a visit board search and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboardUSNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

The secretarys initiatives announced today strengthen these areas further They include

-- The secretary directed the services to improve victim legal support He directed the servicesecretaries to create a legal advocacy program to provide legal representation to sexual assaultvictims throughout the judicial process He set Nov 1 2013 as an initial operating capacity forthis and for it to be fully functional by Jan 1 2014

-- Hagel directed that pre-trial investigative hearings of sexual assault-related charges areconducted by Judge Advocate General officers

-- The secretary directed service secretaries to enhance protections calling on them to developand implement policies allowing for the reassignment or transfer of members accused ofcommitting sexual assault or related offense Hagel wants this done in order to eliminatecontinued contact while respecting the rights of both victims and the accused

Bonhomme Richard ARG 31st MEUConduct VBSS ExerciseStory Number NNS130815-20 Release Date 8152013 85400 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III Navy Public Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conducted a visit boardsearch and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboard USNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for the flow ofcommercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer for Amphibious Squadron(PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring and preventing illegal activity on the highseas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to support continued maritimeinterdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutions and to deter illegal activity Theyare conducted by sending boarding teams to search a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatableboat (RHIB) or helicopter If the vessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boardingteam can secure the vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defense tacticsboarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lot of cargo shipsand theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job to be ready to repel thatthreat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certification exercise(CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice was given to BonhommeRichard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning the boarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it] required the sameextensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSS operations Navy ships routinely conductsaid Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-level integrationbetween Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps elite VBSS force is theMaritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreen team and uses the full spectrum ofARGMEU support resources such as aircraft and small boats in order to successfully execute aparticular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time this particularBlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The team gelled quickly and plannedand executed a safe and coordinated mission involving numerous air platforms originating fromboth Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot of coordinationwith different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) the Navy side orMarine Force Recon team I think the operation went extremely smoothly There are alwaysthings to improve and tighten up in any mission but overall I feel like things went extremelywell

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded by Capt CathalOConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 and reports to the CommanderAmphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harley headquartered in White BeachOkinawa Japan

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III NavyPublic Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious ReadyGroup (ARG) in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit(MEU) conducted a visit board search and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboardUSNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice William Blees Navy Public Affairs Support Element West Det Northwest

PORT ANGELES Wash (NNS) -- The 65PB1101 coastal command patrol boat (CCB) departed PortAngeles Wash to transit to San Diego Calif Aug 5-11

The boat was manned by a Fleet Integration Team consisting entirely of Navy Reservists

The CCB underwent developmental testing in the Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fucafrom April to August 2013 During testing the boat encountered wave heights of 4-6 feet

The 65 foot 50-ton boat was built in Bremerton and Tacoma Wash and expands thecapabilities of the Navy with its flexibility

This boat helps bridge the gap between the large ship navy and the near-coastal assets saidSenior Enlisted Advisor Master Chief Petty Officer Joe Manning assigned to Coastal RiverineGroup 1 (CRG-1)

The CCB has increased capability amongst existing Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC)craft including 24-hour mission capability ergonomic equipment design both remote and crew-served weapon systems and a robust communications suite

The arrival of the Coastal Command Boat marks a critical milestone for the Coastal RiverineForce in which new technologies are expanding our teams ability to support broader missions andbattlespace said Capt Chris Peterschmidt commander of CRG-1 CRG-1 looks forward toleading the way as we man train and equip the craft and crew for deployment early next year

The boat contains a hydraulic crane and shock mitigating seating for 18 crew members The boatalso features sound-deadening curtains which separate the berthing area from the galley and anelectronics space and sound-deadening floor mats which isolate the pilothouse main cabin andgalley from machinery and hull-borne noise

The CCB shares many design philosophies and technologies of the next generation of NECC boatssuch as the MK-VI Patrol Boat for coastal operations

CRG-1 is scheduled to take custody of the CCB and the boat will be placed in service in earlySeptember 2013

In conjunction with the arrival of the CCB and other riverine assets during July and August of2013 CRG-1 has taken significant steps in establishing the first West Coast riverine capability

The Coastal Riverine Force is a core Navy capability that provides port and harbor security highvalue asset protection and maritime security operations in coastal and inland waterways

Bonhomme Richard ARG 31st MEUConduct VBSS ExerciseStory Number NNS130815-20 Release Date 8152013 85400 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III Navy Public Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conducted a visit boardsearch and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboard USNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for the flow ofcommercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer for Amphibious Squadron(PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring and preventing illegal activity on the highseas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to support continued maritimeinterdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutions and to deter illegal activity Theyare conducted by sending boarding teams to search a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatableboat (RHIB) or helicopter If the vessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boardingteam can secure the vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defense tacticsboarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lot of cargo shipsand theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job to be ready to repel thatthreat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certification exercise(CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice was given to BonhommeRichard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning the boarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it] required the sameextensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSS operations Navy ships routinely conductsaid Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-level integrationbetween Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps elite VBSS force is theMaritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreen team and uses the full spectrum ofARGMEU support resources such as aircraft and small boats in order to successfully execute aparticular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time this particularBlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The team gelled quickly and plannedand executed a safe and coordinated mission involving numerous air platforms originating fromboth Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot of coordinationwith different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) the Navy side orMarine Force Recon team I think the operation went extremely smoothly There are alwaysthings to improve and tighten up in any mission but overall I feel like things went extremelywell

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded by Capt CathalOConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 and reports to the CommanderAmphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harley headquartered in White BeachOkinawa Japan

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

NNS130815-20 Bonhomme Richard ARG 31st MEU Conduct VBSS Exercise

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III NavyPublic Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious ReadyGroup (ARG) in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit(MEU) conducted a visit board search and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboardUSNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded byCapt Cathal OConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 andreports to the Commander Amphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harleyheadquartered in White Beach Okinawa Japan

The CCB shares many design philosophies and technologies of the next generation of NECC boatssuch as the MK-VI Patrol Boat for coastal operations

CRG-1 is scheduled to take custody of the CCB and the boat will be placed in service in earlySeptember 2013

In conjunction with the arrival of the CCB and other riverine assets during July and August of2013 CRG-1 has taken significant steps in establishing the first West Coast riverine capability

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defense tacticsboarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lot of cargo shipsand theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job to be ready to repel thatthreat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certification exercise(CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice was given to BonhommeRichard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning the boarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it] required the sameextensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSS operations Navy ships routinely conductsaid Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-level integrationbetween Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps elite VBSS force is theMaritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreen team and uses the full spectrum ofARGMEU support resources such as aircraft and small boats in order to successfully execute aparticular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time this particularBlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The team gelled quickly and plannedand executed a safe and coordinated mission involving numerous air platforms originating fromboth Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot of coordinationwith different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) the Navy side orMarine Force Recon team I think the operation went extremely smoothly There are alwaysthings to improve and tighten up in any mission but overall I feel like things went extremelywell

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

The secretarys initiatives announced today strengthen these areas further They include

-- The secretary directed the services to improve victim legal support He directed the servicesecretaries to create a legal advocacy program to provide legal representation to sexual assaultvictims throughout the judicial process He set Nov 1 2013 as an initial operating capacity forthis and for it to be fully functional by Jan 1 2014

-- Hagel directed that pre-trial investigative hearings of sexual assault-related charges areconducted by Judge Advocate General officers

-- The secretary directed service secretaries to enhance protections calling on them to developand implement policies allowing for the reassignment or transfer of members accused ofcommitting sexual assault or related offense Hagel wants this done in order to eliminatecontinued contact while respecting the rights of both victims and the accused

Bonhomme Richard ARG 31st MEUConduct VBSS ExerciseStory Number NNS130815-20 Release Date 8152013 85400 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III Navy Public Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conducted a visit boardsearch and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboard USNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for the flow ofcommercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer for Amphibious Squadron(PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring and preventing illegal activity on the highseas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to support continued maritimeinterdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutions and to deter illegal activity Theyare conducted by sending boarding teams to search a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatableboat (RHIB) or helicopter If the vessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boardingteam can secure the vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defense tacticsboarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lot of cargo shipsand theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job to be ready to repel thatthreat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certification exercise(CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice was given to BonhommeRichard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning the boarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it] required the sameextensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSS operations Navy ships routinely conductsaid Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-level integrationbetween Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps elite VBSS force is theMaritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreen team and uses the full spectrum ofARGMEU support resources such as aircraft and small boats in order to successfully execute aparticular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time this particularBlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The team gelled quickly and plannedand executed a safe and coordinated mission involving numerous air platforms originating fromboth Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot of coordinationwith different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) the Navy side orMarine Force Recon team I think the operation went extremely smoothly There are alwaysthings to improve and tighten up in any mission but overall I feel like things went extremelywell

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded by Capt CathalOConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 and reports to the CommanderAmphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harley headquartered in White BeachOkinawa Japan

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well

The secretarys initiatives announced today strengthen these areas further They include

-- The secretary directed the services to improve victim legal support He directed the servicesecretaries to create a legal advocacy program to provide legal representation to sexual assaultvictims throughout the judicial process He set Nov 1 2013 as an initial operating capacity forthis and for it to be fully functional by Jan 1 2014

-- Hagel directed that pre-trial investigative hearings of sexual assault-related charges areconducted by Judge Advocate General officers

-- The secretary directed service secretaries to enhance protections calling on them to developand implement policies allowing for the reassignment or transfer of members accused ofcommitting sexual assault or related offense Hagel wants this done in order to eliminatecontinued contact while respecting the rights of both victims and the accused

Off-yard availabilities are unique and require an all-inclusive team mentality from planning toexecution said Don Robinson deputy project superintendent The can-do attitude of our entireteam made small work of even first-time challenges throughout the execution period

The project team and crews combined pride and work ethic drove them to success as they metthe overhauls key dates including undocking three days early - none of which would have beenpossible without the maintenance partnership with the Pittsburgh crew lead by commandingofficer Cmdr William Solomon

Cmdr Solomon and the crew of Pittsburgh were side-by-side with the shipyard in overcomingeach and every obstacle said Capt James Kalowsky PNSY operations officer They trulyexemplified the ships motto and displayed a heart of steel

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice William Blees Navy Public Affairs Support Element West Det Northwest

PORT ANGELES Wash (NNS) -- The 65PB1101 coastal command patrol boat (CCB) departed PortAngeles Wash to transit to San Diego Calif Aug 5-11

The boat was manned by a Fleet Integration Team consisting entirely of Navy Reservists

The CCB underwent developmental testing in the Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fucafrom April to August 2013 During testing the boat encountered wave heights of 4-6 feet

The 65 foot 50-ton boat was built in Bremerton and Tacoma Wash and expands thecapabilities of the Navy with its flexibility

This boat helps bridge the gap between the large ship navy and the near-coastal assets saidSenior Enlisted Advisor Master Chief Petty Officer Joe Manning assigned to Coastal RiverineGroup 1 (CRG-1)

The CCB has increased capability amongst existing Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC)craft including 24-hour mission capability ergonomic equipment design both remote and crew-served weapon systems and a robust communications suite

The arrival of the Coastal Command Boat marks a critical milestone for the Coastal RiverineForce in which new technologies are expanding our teams ability to support broader missions andbattlespace said Capt Chris Peterschmidt commander of CRG-1 CRG-1 looks forward toleading the way as we man train and equip the craft and crew for deployment early next year

The boat contains a hydraulic crane and shock mitigating seating for 18 crew members The boatalso features sound-deadening curtains which separate the berthing area from the galley and anelectronics space and sound-deadening floor mats which isolate the pilothouse main cabin andgalley from machinery and hull-borne noise

The CCB shares many design philosophies and technologies of the next generation of NECC boatssuch as the MK-VI Patrol Boat for coastal operations

CRG-1 is scheduled to take custody of the CCB and the boat will be placed in service in earlySeptember 2013

In conjunction with the arrival of the CCB and other riverine assets during July and August of2013 CRG-1 has taken significant steps in establishing the first West Coast riverine capability

The Coastal Riverine Force is a core Navy capability that provides port and harbor security highvalue asset protection and maritime security operations in coastal and inland waterways

Bonhomme Richard ARG 31st MEUConduct VBSS ExerciseStory Number NNS130815-20 Release Date 8152013 85400 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Edward Guttierrez III Navy Public Affairs Support Element Norfolk

CORAL SEA (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)in partnership with Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conducted a visit boardsearch and seizure (VBSS) training evolution aboard USNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8) Aug 13

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for the flow ofcommercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer for Amphibious Squadron(PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring and preventing illegal activity on the highseas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to support continued maritimeinterdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutions and to deter illegal activity Theyare conducted by sending boarding teams to search a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatableboat (RHIB) or helicopter If the vessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boardingteam can secure the vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defense tacticsboarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lot of cargo shipsand theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job to be ready to repel thatthreat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certification exercise(CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice was given to BonhommeRichard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning the boarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it] required the sameextensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSS operations Navy ships routinely conductsaid Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-level integrationbetween Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps elite VBSS force is theMaritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreen team and uses the full spectrum ofARGMEU support resources such as aircraft and small boats in order to successfully execute aparticular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time this particularBlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The team gelled quickly and plannedand executed a safe and coordinated mission involving numerous air platforms originating fromboth Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot of coordinationwith different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) the Navy side orMarine Force Recon team I think the operation went extremely smoothly There are alwaysthings to improve and tighten up in any mission but overall I feel like things went extremelywell

Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard ARG commanded by Capt CathalOConnor commodore Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 and reports to the CommanderAmphibious Force 7th Fleet Rear Adm Jeffrey A Harley headquartered in White BeachOkinawa Japan

VBSS operations are another way in which we keep sea lanes open and safe for theflow of commercial traffic said Lt Bradford Tonder operations officer forAmphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 11 These operations aid in deterring andpreventing illegal activity on the high seas

VBSS operations emerged after the initial Gulf War as a measure to supportcontinued maritime interdiction operations imposed by United Nations resolutionsand to deter illegal activity They are conducted by sending boarding teams tosearch a vessel of interest via rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or helicopter If thevessel is deemed to be conducting illegal activities the boarding team can securethe vessel and crew if required

Todays VBSS training covers areas such as tactical team movements self-defensetactics boarding tactics and climbing and repelling techniques

In this part of the world its one of the biggest things we focus on There are a lotof cargo ships and theyre at high risk of being taken over by pirates Its our job tobe ready to repel that threat said Cpl Corey Thomas infantry squad leader

The VBSS training exercise was conducted as part of the 31st MEUs certificationexercise (CERTEX) Due to the exercise framework less than 48 hours notice wasgiven to Bonhomme Richard Denver and the 31st MEU to begin planning theboarding and seizure operation

Although we had only 48 hours from notice of the mission to execution [it]required the same extensive and detailed planning to execute as the VBSSoperations Navy ships routinely conduct said Tonder

VBSS operations require intricate pre-planning and execution as well as high-levelintegration between Navy and Marine on-scene leadership The Marine Corps eliteVBSS force is the Maritime Raid Force (MRF) The MRF is vital to the BlueGreenteam and uses the full spectrum of ARGMEU support resources such as aircraft andsmall boats in order to successfully execute a particular mission

This operation was very successful said Tonder This was the first time thisparticular BlueGreen team conducted this type of operation together The teamgelled quickly and planned and executed a safe and coordinated mission involvingnumerous air platforms originating from both Bonhomme Richard and Denver

Thomas echoed that sentiment saying A lot goes into an operation like this a lot ofcoordination with different elements Whether its the Aviation Combat Element(ACE) the Navy side or Marine Force Recon team I think the operation wentextremely smoothly There are always things to improve and tighten up in anymission but overall I feel like things went extremely well
