Gaeta, 4 Nov. (askanews) – The transmission of information and communications has proven to be very important in the history of defense. It is no coincidence that there is a Joint Operation Center (JOC) on board the USS Mount Whitney, flagship of the Sixth Fleet of the United States of America stationed in the Mediterranean Sea and also Afloat Command Platform of the NATO Naval Striking and Support Forces (STRIKFORNATO) . But how the “Joc” works is explained by Frigate captain Ugo Bagordo.
“We here at the Joint Operation Center are responsible for the conduct of activities within the active surveillance boundaries of Neptune Strike. Forces that have been assigned by Nations to NATO European Command are then transferred for control operating at STRIKFORNATO and from here we have top control. So if there is any type of event – it could be an interaction with a non-NATO country, rather than a collision at sea or a plane crash – obviously this information is reported to us. from the units We will inform the internal STRIKFORNATO chain of command up to our commander, then to Vice Admiral Jeffrey T. Anderson, after which the European command will be informed practically in zero time, up to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR). , General Christopher G. Cavoli, who will have information regarding the activities conducted”.
