Defense News: US aircraft carrier Truman will sail in huge NATO exercise
BRUSSELS – The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group has made a rapid return to Europe in order to participate in a large-scale NATO exercise beginning later this month, alliance officials said on Tuesday.
After arriving in Norfolk, Virginia, in July following a three-month deployment, the carrier returned to the European theater on Sept. 16 and is now set to play a key role in Trident Juncture 2018, NATO’s largest exercise in two decades. Forces from all 29 NATO members plus partner nations Sweden and Finland will participate in the drill.
The announcement was made at a news conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Tuesday by Adm. James G. Foggo, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa and the head of all NATO naval forces.
Foggo told reporters that the Truman group's participation would drive up the number of exercise forces by 6,000.
