What is the difference between CTF 150 and CTF 151?
A – CTF-150 conducts counter terrorism, counter narcotics and counter smuggling operations in the Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Oman, the Arabian Sea, Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. As a result of the increased focus on piracy in the region late last year, CTF-150 tasking was rapidly overtaken by counter-piracy operations. CTF-151 was established, with a specific counterpiracy mission, to delineate and clarify the separate missions.
