GULF OF OMAN (Oct. 13, 2008) -- An F/A-18 Hornet makes its final
approach to the flight deck prior to making an arrested landing on the
Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Ronald Reagan
and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 14 are providing support to coalition forces
on the ground in Afghanistan. Coalition forces, composed of more than
52,000 personnel from 40 countries, are providing assistance to the
government of Afghanistan, as part of International Security Assistance
Force (ISAF,) and working to defeat violent extremists who operate
there. Ronald Reagan is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of
responsibility, focused on reassuring regional partners of the United
States' commitment to security, which promotes stability and global
prosperity. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd
