SMEEs allow crews to exchange best practices and sharpen the edges of their technical expertise in foreign environments.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an invaluable experience and incredibly beneficial getting to work alongside our peers in the 5 Squadron\u201d said Lt. Brian DePaola, aircraft commander, VP-10. \u201cSharing our experiences and skills not only strengthens our partnership but fosters a unified approach to maritime security in the Indo-Pacific.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Lancer crew conducted multiple briefings, flights, and exchanges with their RNZAF counterparts covering topics ranging from anti-submarine warfare to search and rescue.<\/p>\n

\u201cSearch and rescue operations were a particular area that the RNZAF was able to showcase and demonstrate their extensive expertise in,\u201d said DePaola. \u201cSince the U.S. Navy and RNZAF both operate the P-8A Poseidon, the techniques for surveillance and rescue operations were exchanged seamlessly, supporting unified and refined responses to catastrophic events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the many opportunities over the seven-day event, the VP-10 crew practiced anti-submarine warfare tactics on an Expendable Mobile Anti-Submarine Warfare Training Target (EMATT) alongside MH-60Rs from the Royal Australian Navy 816 Squadron and a Royal New Zealand Navy Anzac-class frigate, the HMNZS Te Kaha. This provided invaluable experience for interoperating with allies and partners in both the air and sea domains.<\/p>\n

The Red Lancer crew also participated in community outreach, volunteering at a local animal shelter and helping to build animal enclosures for the Hayward Heights branch of New Zealand\u2019s largest no-kill animal shelter, HUHA (Helping You Help Animals).<\/p>\n

\u201cI can confidently speak for the entire VP-10 detachment in saying that we truly enjoyed the uniqueness and the hospitality that New Zealand had to offer,\u201d said DePaola.<\/p>\n

The \u201cRed Lancers\u201d of VP-10 are based in Jacksonville, Florida. The squadron conducts maritime patrol and reconnaissance as well as theater outreach operations, supporting Commander, Task Force 72, U.S. Seventh Fleet, and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command objectives throughout the Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n

U.S. Seventh Fleet is the U.S. Navy\u2019s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
