MANAMA, Bahrain – Maritime forces from Iraq, Kuwait and the United States conducted a joint patrol in the Arabian Gulf.

Ships from the Iraq Navy, Kuwait Naval Force, Kuwait Coast Guard, US Navy, and US Coast Guard participated in maneuvering exercises and maritime security drills.

US ships included patrol coastal ship USS Sirocco (PC 6) and fast response cutter USCGC Charles Moulthrope (WPC 1141). 

Sirocco and Charles Moulthrope are forward-deployed to Bahrain where US 5th Fleet is headquartered.

“Trilateral engagements like this demonstrate the shared commitment of partner nations to safeguarding the seas,” said Capt. Robert Francis, commander of Task Force 55 whose staff oversees operations for US 5th Fleet surface forces.

Cooperation among regional partners at sea helps ensure maritime security and stability in nearby waters, he added.

The US 5th Fleet operating area includes 21 countries, the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Red Sea, parts of the Indian Ocean and three critical choke points at the Strait of Hormuz, Bab al-Mandeb and Suez Canal.
