The destroyer USS Gonzalez breaks away from the USS Arctic, after resupply at sea. The Gonzalez was on station in the Adriatic Sea with the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier battle group in support of NATO Operation Allied Force in 1999. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld uses the 1999 operation as a prime example why standing joint task force headquarters are needed in the future. When the 60-day air war over Yugoslavia ended, the ad hoc headquarters formed to coordinate it had filled only 80 percent of its necessary slots. Photo by Petty Officer 3rd class Todd Linard, USN.
