ATLANTIC OCEAN – The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67) completed composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX), May 7. The ship completed much of their integrated naval training with the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) – 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, who are also underway completing their certification exercise.
“COMPTUEX is a challenging multi-warfare training opportunity for our team,” said Cole’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. Tim Clark. “Our crew is well trained, and ready for tasking. I am confident that we will meet and exceed all challenges put in front of us.”
