Elements of NECC’s Coastal Riverine Force (CRF), which includes approximately 2500 active duty and 1900 reserve sailors, were on display at the AFCEA West conference in San Diego.
The CRF is designed to operate in harbours, rivers, bays, across the littorals and ashore. The primary mission of CRF is to conduct maritime security operations across all phases of military operations by defending high value assets, critical maritime infrastructure, ports and harbours both inland and on coastal waterways against enemies and when commanded conduct offensive combat operations.
CRF is comprised of units manned, trained, and equipped to conduct, port and harbour security, high-value unit security and escort, surveillance and reconnaissance, insertion and extraction of small units, and command and control for supporting assigned units.
CRF is capable of conducting 24-hour operations in all weather conditions and climates.
The boats on display were part of Coastal Riverine Group (CORIVGRU) 1, based in San Diego (Navy Outlying Landing Field, Imperial Beach).
