Phoenix Express 2014 Begins
SOUDA BAY, Greece (NNS) -- SOUDA BAY, Greece - Phoenix Express 2014, a multinational maritime exercise between North African, European, and U.S. naval forces, commenced its inport phase at the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operation Training Center (NMIOTC) in Souda Bay, May 13.
The U.S. Africa Command-sponsored exercise, now in its eighth year, is designed to improve cooperation and interdiction expertise among participating nations in order to increase maritime safety and security in the Mediterranean Sea.
Events held during the in-port phase will focus on medical and maritime interdiction operations (MIO) training at NMIOTC, while maritime forces located pier-side will conduct workshops in helicopter operations and safety, damage control and firefighting, deck seamanship, navigation, search and rescue (SAR), and small boat operations.
Once the two-week in port phase is complete, participating nations will practice a wide range of skill sets during underway operations in the central Mediterranean Sea from May 24-June 2. Personnel from participating nations will work together as part of a Combined Maritime Operations Center in Sigonella, Italy, to manage a common operational picture and provide tactical oversight of the participating ships, further enhancing interoperability.
Skills to be tested throughout the exercise include boarding techniques, search and rescue operations, medical casualty response, radio communication, and information management techniques.
Utilizing the Hellenic navy training ship Aris, boarding teams will be able to their strengthen expertise in boarding techniques in advance of the underway phase.
As boarding teams gathered at the NMIOTC for classroom sessions, participants expressed they looked forward to gaining important skill sets.
"This is the first time we've participated in Phoenix Express," noted Lt. Col. Salem Alshwerif, Libyan Armed Forces. "The training at NMIOTC is excellent and will help us deal with maritime issues in the future."
Countries participating in Phoenix Express 2014 include Algeria, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Libya, Malta, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States.

Phoenix Express Participants Prepare for At-Sea Portion with Pre-Sail Conference
SOUDA BAY, Greece (NNS) -- Members of maritime forces from European, North African and U.S. Naval forces participated in a pre-sail conference kick-off for Exercise Phoenix Express 2014 (PE14) at the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operational Training Center (NMIOTC) in Souda Bay, May 21.
The U.S. Africa Command-sponsored exercise, now in its eighth year, is designed to improve cooperation and interdiction expertise among participating nations in order to increase maritime safety and security in the Mediterranean Sea.
"This is a great opportunity for our nations to work together, build relationships and improve interoperability amongst our navies," said Rear Adm. Chris Sadler, director, Maritime Partnership Program, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, and vice commander, U.S. 6th Fleet.
Participants discussed the upcoming underway phase of Phoenix Express, meant to improve maritime domain awareness and interaction between forces afloat and the combined maritime operations center ashore.
Combined maritime forces will execute a series of training scenarios exercising force protection measures, boarding procedures, search and rescue, replenishment at sea, and helicopter operations.
"The end result of the exercise will be to improve maritime security and stability in the Mediterranean Sea and ensure we train like we fight and fight like we train," said Sadler.
PE14 is in the middle of its two-week in port phase, with underway operations in the central Mediterranean Sea scheduled to begin May 24 and end June 2.
"Promoting interoperability and cooperation among the coastal states, North Africa and South Europe, is the objective," said Hellenic navy Commodore Ioannis G. Pavlopoulos, Commandant of NMIOTC. "When we manage to establish constant communication between our states from both sides, I think the maritime trade will flow easier and more securely for the benefit of our states and the global security system."
Thus far, participants have gained various skills during the Maritime Interdiction Operations inport phase of Phoenix Express.
"The training at NMIOTC is excellent, and will help us deal with maritime issues in the future," said Lt. Col. Salem Alshwerif, a member of Libyan Armed Forces, who are participating in Phoenix Express for the first time.
Countries participating in Phoenix Express 2014 include Algeria, Croatia, Greece, Libya, Malta, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States.
U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts a full range of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation missions in concert with coalition, joint, interagency, and other partners in order to advance security and stability in Europe and Africa.

Phoenix Express Continues with At-Sea Phase
MEDITERRANEAN SEA (NNS) -- Eight maritime interdiction boarding teams and six participating ships continue at-sea maritime security training scenarios as part of Phoenix Express, May 30.
During the scenarios, teams are taking turns boarding simulated suspect commercial vessels and executing tactics to counter-illicit trafficking.
Participating ships include the Hellenic navy frigate HS Navarinon, Royal Moroccan navy frigate Hassan II, Algerian navy frigate Mourad Rais, Tunisian navy fast attack craft La Galite, and the Turkish navy frigate Fatih.
Beyond the boarding scenarios, the crews of each ship are working closely together in a number of mission areas such as: tracking vessels of interest, communicating between other ships and maritime operations centers ashore, and overall ship maneuvering and interoperability.
"You can learn a lot from these kinds of exercises and even more when working directly with another nation," said Hellenic navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Makrakis Vagelis, supervisor of electronic communications on board the Navarinon. "You can see things from different nation's equipment and tactics and you are able to take the best parts and be able to do better work."
Four U.S. Army medics and U.S. Navy Sailors are embarked aboard Navarinon, working closely with a combined Croatian and Greek boarding team to share best practices in medical casualty response and MIO training.
"[Exercises like these] builds a sense of community and interoperability," said U.S. Army Sgt. Brendan Hummel, one of two Army medics aboard the Navarinon.
Phoenix Express is a U.S. Africa Command-sponsored exercise, now in its eighth year, is designed to improve cooperation and interdiction expertise among Europe, North African, and U.S. naval forces in order to increase maritime safety and security in the Mediterranean Sea.
