Persian Gulf (June 4, 2005) -- The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS
Mustin (DDG 89) cruises alongside the fast combat support ship USS
Camden (AOE 2) during a replenishment at sea (RAS). USS Camden is
currently conducting refueling operations in the region in support of
Operation Iraqi Freedom, while supporting USS Mustin, who is currently
conducting Maritime Interception Operations (MIO) within international
waters under the U.S. Central Command Area of Responsibility. These
operations are aimed at interrupting the flow of personnel and material
that may support international terrorist organizations within the scope
of Maritime Security Operations (MSO). MSO sets the condition for
security and stability in the maritime environment, complement the
counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations, and deny
international terrorists use of the maritime environment as a venue for
attack or to transport personnel, weapons, or other material. U.S. Navy
