Truman (CVN 75) is underway completing its final deployment preparations including Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), but she isn\u2019t alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While it is not a surprise that the flagship of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 8, Harry S. Truman CSG, is operating with Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1 and its eight aviation squadrons, Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 28 with two Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, and the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, one unique element of the underway period was Truman\u2019s work alongside the Italian Navy Carlo Bergamini-class frigate ITS Carabiniere (F 593).\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking side by side with an allied force is very motivating, especially with a U.S. Carrier Strike Group, the highest expression of power projection in the world,\u201d said Cmdr. Marco Felici, commanding officer of ITS Carabiniere (F 593). \u201cIt was an invaluable opportunity to experience a different working and living environment. The best part of it all was sharing different practices and points of view, targeting the same goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the exercise, ITS Carabiniere operated as part of the Harry S. Truman CSG, which forged personal relationships and tactical acumen that support NATO\u2019s collective defense. COMPTUEXs simulate real-world multi-domain scenarios to provide training, mentorship, and assessment opportunities that increase proficiency and identify areas for improvement. While working as a U.S. national force is critically important, one of the U.S. Navy\u2019s greatest strengths is interoperability with Allies and partners. In recent years, for example, Carabiniere operated in the Mediterranean with multiple U.S. Navy ships and strike groups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe integration further strengthens and highlights a unity of intent that is already a \u2018fait accompli,\u2019\u201d said Felici. \u201cOur countries\u2019 military alliance benefits in many ways. Our integration strengthens confidence and trust in each other\u2019s competence and capability, thus fostering mutual trust at all levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just as a U.S. Navy CSG is often a key element of numbered fleet and combatant command operations, they also serve the same role when operating under the authority of a NATO maritime component commander such as Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO (STRIKFORNATO). The opportunity for Harry S. Truman, Carabiniere, and CSG teammates to work together ensured that U.S. and Italian Sailors alike \u2013 including many first-term Sailors \u2013 were able to collaborate in a training environment before an upcoming deployment that may include similar operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S.
