The ROD task Force is to visit the CoC bases in the area.
Base at Georgetown, Guyana. Communications, a few smaller naval vessels and a few aircraft. We use the Guyana base having a section portioned off.
Grenada, is open, most logistical support.
Panama
Ft. Randolph, on Atlantic side, where most of the Ranger School training is conducted. Come visit, check in on your Ranger trainees. This is the largest active base in Panama for the CoC.
Ft. Amador, Pacific, helicopters and fast patrol boats, LCS, corvettes, mostly.
Ft. Gilman used for training in central ** CENSORED ** Zone.

This morning the sailors and Marines of 1st MEU bid farewell to the United States. After a lengthy port of call in San Diego that included several days of fun in San Diego and Tijuana, followed by 4 days of intense training with the USMC, 1st MEU boarded their ships and began the last leg of their mission.

After several days at sea the ships will arrive in the RPNW for a celebration and after-action review by ROD and RPNW officers and officials before the ships head back to the ROD. Planning is already underway for 1st MEU’s next mission, which will occur in 2021 after the CAWC and the 1st MEU HQ have moved to the RPNW for a 12-month stint under RPNW command.

Unfortunately the 1st MEU will not go that far north. The mission ends in the RPNW this time.

Several published reports are that Vancouver Island has a 25-30% COVID infection rate of the population. It was determined that these people did not partake in Smoking the home grown product. Very few of those that ingested do not have COVID. JUST REPORTING THE FACTS.
Not sure ROD wishes to visit.

Good point about the COVID-19 thing, the ROD should minimize contact when they travel overseas as best as possible, all the 1st MEU personal should be given tests for the virus when they visited California as the US has the Worst infection rate I ever seen.

I read Vancouver Isle has more people infected than the US, excluding FL, Tx, and NY ( including NYC).

Last Intel report I looked at showed a few foreign navies visiting, mostly at night.

1st MEU crossed the finish line today, making port in the RPNW after an eventful mission. The sailors and Marines departed the ROD on April 15th to prowl the south Pacific. They diverted to the Mediterranean in May during the Black Sea War, and then they returned to the Indian Ocean in June, then back into the Pacific. They conducted training in South Korea, Mindanaodom, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. 1st MEU was underway for a total of 132 days.

The sailors and Marines of 1st MEU will celebrate in the RPNW for several days and then the ROD personnel will return to the ROD. Many lessons were learned and the planners at the CAWC are busy integrating those lessons into the next mission. The CAWC and 1st MEU will move to the RPNW for 2021.

As 2020 draws to a close, it's time to jump the command post. The CAWC colors were cased this morning during a ceremony at the Naval Amphibious Base at Saint Catherine, ROD and they are moving to the RPNW, along with the staff and equipment.

The colors will be uncased at the new CAWC headquarters in the RPNW in January and the team will settle into their new home. The CAWC will reside in the RPNW for all of 2021, and then return to the ROD in 2022.

Great looking fleet Admiral Redleg.
The CoC is using the SSGN of Franklin class heavily. We should use your picture of the unseen navy.
