GROTON, Conn. – Navy Information Operations Detachment (NIOD) Groton hosted Capt. Joseph Finn, commander, Task Force 1030 / commanding officer of Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Norfolk, for a site visit Feb. 21.

During his visit, Finn received a brief and held a discussion regarding the installation and employment of a new generation suite of equipment earmarked for future use on Navy platforms.

“I thought it was a very fruitful visit, it is always great when our Sailors get a chance to showcase the latest and greatest technology that they will deploy with,” said Lt. Josh Robishaw, NIOD Groton’s assistant officer in charge.

He finished his visit with a maintenance floor tour and hands-on equipment demonstration by NIOD Groton personnel.

NIOD Groton is subordinate to Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Norfolk, and aligns under Commander, Task Force 1030 and ultimately Commander, Fleet Cyber Command/U.S. 10th Fleet.
