Standing NATO Maritime Group 2 (SNMG2) arrived in the Aegean Sea in February 2016. It is conducting reconnaissance, monitoring and surveillance in the territorial waters of Greece and Turkey, as well as in international waters.
NATO ships are making a difference in the international efforts to deal with the greatest refugee and migrant crisis facing Europe since the end of the Second World War, providing real-time information to the coast guards of Greece and Turkey, as well as Frontex. This is helping them take effective action.
B-Roll includes interviews with personnel from Turkish ship TCG Gökova and interview with SNMG2 Commander, onboard German ship FGS Bonn (BROLL 1), as well as covering shots from the bridge and operations room of TCG Gökova and shots from a Turkish military patrol helicopter (BROLL 2).
