Global security environments call for cooperation

US Navy counter piracy exerciseThe US Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) participated in a counter-piracy exercise in the Gulf of Aden with elements of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (Navy) from August 24-25.

“The U.S. Navy and People’s Liberation Army (Navy) share a common interest in preserving legitimate mariners’ access to, and secure use of, the maritime domain by deterring, disrupting and suppressing piracy,” said Vice Adm. John Miller, commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT), U.S. 5th Fleet, Combined Maritime Forces.

“Both regional and global security environments call for practical cooperation between navies, and this exercise demonstrates a cooperative effort by the U.S. and China to address common maritime security challenges.”

The Chinese oiler played the role of a pirated vessel as VBSS teams from both Mason and Harbin performed two boardings as a combined unit. The U.S.-Chinese team successfully completed the VBSS evolutions that included mock medical emergency and hostage scenarios.

“Watching U.S. and Chinese sailors working side by side was amazing,” said Cmdr. Wilson Marks, Mason’s commanding officer. “We may come from different places and speak different languages, but at the end of the day, we all share a common interest in protecting the maritime domain.”

The ships applied synchronized maneuvering techniques during a live-fire exercise involving an inflatable target. Mason and Harbin successfully engaged the target with the 5-inch MK-45 lightweight gun and 3.9-inch ENG-2 deck gun.

U.S. and PLA(N) helicopters also conducted cross-deck landing qualifications. These were the first such exchanges in which the U.S. and Chinese forces practiced interoperability in a major exercise.

The two navies prepared for this event for months. The commodore of the U.S. task force assigned with the planning and execution expressed how important and beneficial the training was.
