Detachment returns from deployment

Posted on Dec 07 2006

[B]SANTA RITA, Guam[/B]—Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25 Detachment 6 returns to Guam today after completing an eight-month deployment on the USS [I]Essex[/I].

While embarked on the amphibious assault ship, the crew supported Operation Cobra Gold 2006, a U.S.-Thai annual joint training exercise aimed at developing interoperability, strengthening relationships between services and enhancing cross-cultural understanding among participating nations. The detachment also participated in both Exercise Talon Vision and Amphibious Landing Exercise, which were held simultaneously and helped strengthen military operations and friendships between the U.S. and Republic of the Philippines.

As part of Helicopter Sea Combat Wing, U.S. Pacific Fleet, HSC-25 is the Navy’s only forward-deployed, vertical replenishment squadron, providing deployed ships a rapid, safe and versatile means of re-supplying diminishing stores.
