The Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer USS Stethem (DDG 63) fires a surface-to-air missile during a missile exercise (MISSILEX) during Valiant Shield 2014. Cruisers and destroyers from Commander, Task Force 70 participating in exercise Valiant Shield conducted a MISSILEX to hone their ability to successfully engage airborne threats simulated by unmanned target drones. Military Sealift Command ships assigned to CTF 73 served as the drone launch platform for the MISSILEX. Valiant Shield is a U.S.-only exercise integrating an estimated 18,000 U.S. Navy, Air Force, Army and Marine Corps personnel, more than 200 aircraft and 19 surface ships, offering real world joint operational experience to develop capabilities that provide a full range of options to defend U.S. interests and those of its allies and partners.
