#STRIKFORNATO demonstrated its organizational agility over the weekend by redeploying from its afloat command platform, the #USSMountWhitney ⚓️, back to its headquarters in 🇵🇹, all the while keeping up operations in #SteadFastJupiter23 - a @NATO exercise designed to strengthen high-intensity warfighting skillsets in a multi-domain, multi-Joint Operating Area scenario. 💪 #WeAreNATO #StrongerTogether

#USSMountWhitney is wearing red and yellow today! 🇪🇸

There is nothing better than celebrating la Fiesta Nacional de España at sea with #STRIKFORNATO's Spanish personnel! As George Orwell would say, how easy it is to make friends in Spain. 🫂

The National Day of Spain celebrates the meeting between the New and Old Worlds in the 15th century when Spanish Admiral Christopher Columbus connected both shores of the Atlantic 🌊 - a transcendental historical milestone that would change the world forever. 🌍

And though the feeling of Saudade might be strong, #STRIKFORNATO’s Portuguese personnel on board #USSMountWhitney are training to ensure the Alliance will always be ready to #DefendTonight! 💪

@STRIKFORNATO is at sea! 🌊 #STRIKFORNATO’s staff embarked the #USSMOUNTWHITNEY ⚓️ in order to revalidate the ship as @NATO's Afloat Command Platform (ACP). 🚢
