The DESI program was established in 2001 by U.S. Fleet Forces Command and partners the U.S. Navy with South American submarine-operating navies as they participate in fleet readiness exercises. The initiative brings these South American submarines to the United States for a series of drills, exercises, and interoperability events. While in Southern California, Pisagua\u2019s crew strengthened relationships with U.S. Navy personnel and honed their skills in a variety of areas, including damage control, communications, hoisting exercises, and undersea rescue fundamentals.<\/p>\n

It is the focus on undersea rescue fundamentals that brought Pisagua\u2019s crew together with the professionals of URC, the U.S. Navy\u2019s sole provider for U.S. and allied submarine rescue support.<\/p>\n

\u201dThis exercise enhances our coordination with allies and partners in the mission of submarine rescue. It enables us to develop, refine, and practice our TTPs [tactics, techniques, and procedures] for rescue while building relationships in the international community and strengthening relationships in critical regions,\u201d said Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Skiles, executive officer of URC. \u201cIt builds confidence for both parties in the ability to get our sailors and our allies and partners home safe in the event of a major casualty.\u201d<\/p>\n

This particular exercise involved Pisagua descending to the bottom of the ocean and establishing underwater communications with the would-be rescue team. The rescue team then coordinated with personnel assigned to UUVGRU-1 to localize the submarine while also using a DISSUB Response Team from URC to minimize the intervention time for a subsequent rescue.<\/p>\n

It is the fourth time that URC has worked with DESI partners in this fashion, and the second time with BAP Pisagua. Working together through exercises like this demonstrates the deepening coordination with URC and international Allies and partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coordination for submarine rescue is a unique mission set in the international community. We all acknowledge the inherent danger in submarining and being part of one of the world\u2019s rescue capabilities enables us to teach and learn from our international partners through that mission,\u201d Skiles added. \u201cThrough events like DYNAMIC MONARCH and DESI, we can maximize the probability of a successful rescue through our own capabilities or international capabilities that we\u2019ve had the opportunity to operate and train with. These events are even more crucial for countries that don\u2019t have inherent submarine rescue capabilities and will rely on external support from other countries in the event of a DISSUB event.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the Peruvian Navy, this exercise further reinforced the importance of the DESI program and its ability to enhance cooperation and collaboration between the U.S. and Peru in a variety of areas and battlespaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have learned so much from this program with the U.S. Navy and we are already looking forward to our next opportunity to participate in DESI,\u201d said Cmdr. Raul UGARTE Aguayo, Peruvian Navy Submarine Liaison Officer. \u201cIn 2026, we will further strengthen our cooperation by incorporating our new rescue seat recently installed on our submarine Chipana.\u201d<\/p>\n

URC, comprised of active and Reserve component Sailors, and civilian contractors, is the U.S. Navy\u2019s only submarine rescue-capable command ready to deploy around the world in the event of a submarine emergency.<\/p>\n

Commander, Submarine Squadron 11 provides training, material and personnel readiness support for the medium auxiliary floating dry dock ARCO (ARDM 5), Undersea Rescue Command and four Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarines, capable of supporting various missions, including: anti-submarine warfare; anti-ship warfare; strike warfare; and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.<\/p>\n
