GULF OF TADJOURA (May 13, 2021) U.S. Coast Guard Cmdr. Benjamin Lehrfeld, commander of Task Group 68.6, attaches night vision gear to his
helmet to better see unidentified vessels approaching while keeping watch over the Charles
Moulthrope, Coast Guard Patrol Craft (WPC 1141) and Robert Goldman (WPC 1142), Coast Guard
Sentinel-class cutters (USCGC) while escorting them into port after an at sea refueling while in the Gulf
of Tadjoura on May 13, 2021.
Task Group 68.6, based at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti provides port and harbor
security, high-value asset protection, and maritime security operations in
coastal waterways of the Gulf of Tadjoura. The Task Group includes MSRON-11,
the security boat squadron and EOD Platoon 8-2-1, which sweeps the port for
explosives as needed. Both units are supported by Navy Expeditionary Combat
Command in Norfolk, Virginia.
Charles Moulthrope and Robert Goldman are traveling to their new forward-deployed homeport in
Bahrain to replace decommissioning island-class patrol boats as part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Patrol
Forces Southwest Asia (PATFORSWA).
As per the SECNAV Memo of 4 March 2021, the use of masks aboard the patrol boats is relaxed due to
the high-risk nature of operations, specifically in this photo the need for clear, audible and unrestricted
visualization of verbal communication required for safe and effective operations. (U.S. Navy photo by
