190322-N-AP176-0173 ATLANTIC OCEAN (March 22, 2019) Boatswain's Mate 1st Class Andrew Martin, left, assigned to Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2, discusses the Mark 18 Mod 2 unmanned underwater vehicle with Rear Adm. David Hahn, director of naval research, right, and Royal Navy Rear Adm. Hugh Beard, assistant chief of the naval staff (capability), center, aboard the Royal Fleet Auxiliary landing ship dock Mounts Bay during a mine countermeasures (MCM) task group experiment. This experiment refines and advances the Navy explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) community's ability to command and control an MCM task group. The Navy EOD community achieves this by embarking vessels of opportunity to direct surface, air and expeditionary MCM forces, including the Navy's Expeditionary MCM (ExMCM) units.
