 I'm Captain Joe Feminot, Commodore of Task Force 6-4, based in Naples, Italy. Task Force 6-4 executes integrated air and missile defense, including mission planning, execution, operational tactical control of assigned units, which include Aegis missile defense, or BMD destroyers, Aegis BMD cruisers, and the Aegis Assure missile defense systems. We also provide direct support for Aegis ballistic missile defense planning for the United States' contribution to NATO missile defense. Last year, under the leadership of Vice Admiral Francketti and alongside the Sixth Fleet and Strike Force NATO teams, the men and women of Task Force 6-4 led a multinational force during formidable shield 2019. This included more than a dozen successful live fire and simulated engagements against subsonic, supersonic, and ballistic targets, both inside the atmosphere and out. During this event, we commended the first simultaneous defense by Standard Missile 2 and Standard Missile 3 against both low and high-altitude targets in the European theater. On behalf of Task Force 6-4, I want to send all my best to US Sixth Fleet and wish them a most happy 70th anniversary.
