Established May 22, 2023, Combined Task Force (CTF) 154 is one of five task forces operated by Combined Maritime Forces (CMF). CTF 154 will train partner navies and improve operational capabilities to enhance maritime security in the Middle East.
CTF 154 leads multinational maritime training at locations across the Middle East, enabling more CMF partner nations to participate in training opportunities without ships or aircraft, particularly during courses that are facilitated ashore.
The training events are organized around five core areas: maritime awareness, maritime law, maritime interdiction, maritime rescue and assistance, and leadership development. Each training opportunity is tailored to meet partner requests ranging from basic to advanced levels.
Multinational forces participate in vessel boarding training in the Indian Ocean, July 11, 2023, during Operation Southern Readiness.
