190322-N-MU198-0300 ATLANTIC OCEAN (March 23, 2019) Members of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) assigned to the landing ship dock RFA Mounts Bay retrieve a rigid-hull inflatable boat manned by Sailors assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 2 during a mine countermeasures (MCM) task group experiment. This experiment, held aboard Mounts Bay, 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.
