The U.S. Navy, France's Marine Nationale and the United Kingdom's Royal Navy are participating in the mine countermeasures exercise Artemis Trident in the Arabian Gulf. The exercise enhances cooperation, mutual mine countermeasure capabilities and interoperability, demonstrating the nations' shared commitment to the region. Mine laying poses a risk to naval ships as well as merchant shipping vessels. As mines threaten maritime traffic indiscriminately, the U.S., France and United Kingdom are dedicated to conducting tactical training to counter the risk of mines in order to support the continued free flow of commerce and freedom of navigation in this critical region.
