A Kuwaiti explosive ordinance disposal diver climbs aboard USS Scout (MCM 8) March 3, in the Persian Gulf. U.S., U.K. and Kuwait naval forces conducted a mine countermeasures exercise Feb. 26 - March 6, to increase interoperability and strengthen their partnerships. Coalition sea services operate across the full spectrum of operations to include mine countermeasure capabilities, a key element of maritime security operations. MSO help set the conditions for security, which promotes stability and global prosperity in the maritime environment and complements the counterterrorism and security efforts of regional nations.
