The littoral combat ship USS Charleston (LCS 18) - built by Austal USA in Mobile, Ala., - and amphibious transport dock ship USS Green Bay (LPD 20) joined Indonesian Navy ships in the Natuna Sea for Garuda Shield 2022 on Aug. 3-4. The sea exercise was to develop mutual capabilities and address shared maritime security priorities. The Singapore Navy's frigate RSS Supreme and landing platform dock ship RSS Resolution also participated in Garuda Shield. The U.S. and Indonesia have had bilateral ties for more than 70 years, according to Capt. Tom Ogden, commodore of Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 7. The exercise featured complex at-sea training to demonstrate the forces’ ability to work together through numerous events, including divisional tactics designed to practice maneuvering as ships sail together in complex formations. Other focus areas included surface and littoral warfare, search and rescue, a gunnery exercise, and visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) events.
