180907-N-TI567-135 STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. -- Newly-appointed Special Boat Team 22 Cmdr. Kurt J. Muhler salutes as he departs official change of command ceremonies at the John C. Stennis Space Center in southern Mississippi.
The ceremony, held on Sept. 7, celebrated the change of command between outgoing SBT 22 Cmdr. Gary Ryals and incoming Cmdr. Kurt J. Muhler, in front of family, friends and staffs of various U.S. Navy and Naval Special Warfare commands, business leaders and political staffs.
SBT 22’s mission is to organize, mentor, train and equip NSW personnel to conduct the full spectrum of special operations in riverine and coastal environments to support fleet and joint commanders worldwide. The unit is one of three operational boat teams within NSW and its members are currently deployed to Central and South America, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
The U.S. special operations community depends on special warfare combatant-craft crewmen for maritime insertion and extraction on time, on target, worldwide. SWCC are an indispensable part of the NSW team, as they operate and maintain high-speed craft specially designed to execute SEAL missions. NSW maritime platforms are equipped with state-of-the-art navigation, communications, engineering and weapons systems. They operate day and night in extreme weather and sea states to achieve the ultimate element of surprise against enemy forces. (U.S. Navy photo by Angela Fry)
