GULF OF TADJOURA (June 17, 2021) U.S. Coast Guard Cmdr. Benjamin Lehrfeld (right), Commander, Task Force 68.6, along with members of the Djibouti Coast Guard, assist four Somalis who were rescued from a stranded fishing boat, June 17, 2021. Two Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron Eleven (MSRON-11) boats, based at Camp Lemonnier, pulled alongside USNS Patuxent (T-AO-201) and received the fishermen before transferring them over to the Djiboutian Coast Guard patrol boat, Damerjog, for return to shore. The four Somali fishermen were stranded at sea after a mechanical failure and were without food or water for several days. Task Group 68.6, based at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti provides port and harbor security, high-value asset protection, and maritime security operations in coastal waterways of the Gulf of Tadjoura. The Task Group includes MSRON-11, the security boat squadron and EOD Platoon 8-2-1, which sweeps the port for explosives as needed. Both units are supported by Navy Expeditionary Combat Command in Norfolk, Virginia. Camp Lemonnier is an operational installation that enables U.S., allied and partner nation forces to be where and when they are needed to ensure security in Europe, Africa and Southwest Asia.
