151103-N-CJ186-999 ARABIAN GULF (Nov. 3, 2015) The Island-class cutter patrol boat USCGC Wrangell (WPB 1332), alongside two U.S. AH-64D Apache helicopters, assigned to U.S. Army Charlie Troop Heavy Cav, and two Kuwaiti Apache helicopters conduct a mock sea-and-air strikes during a bi-lateral training exercise in the Arabian Gulf. The combined-joint exercise provided U.S. forces, which also included U.S. Navy, an opportunity to exchange tactics and best practices with Kuwait naval forces. CTG 56.7 conducts maritime security operations to ensure freedom of movement for strategic shipping and naval vessels operating in the inshore and coastal areas of the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.
