“The critical training that JIATF-W facilitated will help Fiji 

respond to immediate threats, provide life-saving emergency 

care, conduct maritime domain awareness, enforce international and Fiji maritime law, and protect Fiji’s oceanic 

resources in the territorial seas and exclusive economic 

zone. The United States remains a committed partner to the 

region, ensuring a strong and consistent defense presence to 

support peace, security, and stability.”

(Chargé d’Affaires Anthony Greubel, U.S. Embassy Suva) 

“I am writing you to express my thanks and appreciation 

to Joint Interagency Task Force West (JIATF-W) following 

the successful completion of three-weeks of tactical medical training here in Vietnam. This was first time since the 

pandemic that we have been able to continue conducting 

joint-trainings with JIATF-W and much like previous 

JIATF-W trainings, this training was a great stride forward 

for the capacity building effort here in Vietnam.”

-

(Steve Vo, DEA Hanoi Attaché) 

“JIATF West always provides us with unique and challenging projects that allows us to exercise our contractor base in 

preparation for future contingencies. It is also exciting to see 

our foreign partners immediately start operating out of the 

facilities we construct.”

(Lt. Cmdr. Rama Mutyala, 

NAVFAC Pacific ROICC Thailand)

“The JIATF West intelligence team continues to be an integral partner in providing valuable intelligence to disrupt 

the flow of precursor chemical shipments used to produce 

dangerous drugs such as illicit fentanyl.”
