In a training directive, Navy Flag Officer-in-Command Vice
Admiral Alexander Pama said that the training activity will also "enhance

subject matter expert exchange activities.”
The exercises will include realistic, scenario-based
exercises focused on anti-terrorism, illegal human and drug trafficking, and
