US Navy Establishes New "Task Force" to Patrol Red Sea Region

The US navy announced Wednesday that it will establish a new "Task Force" with allied countries to patrol the Red Sea off Yemen.

US Navy Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, the Commander of the US 5th Fleet and Naval Forces Central Command, said that the Combined Task Force-153 will "strengthen the Combined Maritime Force, which is the worlds largest multinational naval partnership, and ultimately well enhance security and stability in the Red Sea and the region." Cooper noted that the new task force will be commissioned on Sunday.
