William Gourtney (right), prospective Commander, U.S. Naval Central Command, meet with Minister of Defense, General Agageldi Mammetgeldiyev, General of the Army at the Ministry of Defense in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan June 12. They discussed ongoing initiatives to build information and experience to improve regional and maritime security. Maritime forces are important because of their role in safeguarding maritime infrastructure, which contributes considerably to prosperity at the country and regional level, as well as the global market. One element of maritime security is Maritime Infrastructure Protection, which includes safety of energy plants and oil platforms. This is complemented by border security -- counter smuggling and counter narcotic efforts, among others. Mammetgeldiyev updated Cosgriff on local initiatives to develop enhanced capabilities in regional forces, including navies, coast guards and border security agencies.", "Image Make": "NIKON CORPORATION", "Image Model": "NIKON D80", "Image Orientation": "Horizontal (normal)", "Image XResolution": "300", "Image YResolution": "300", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop 7.0", "Image DateTime": "2008:09:26 22:30:31", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Co-sited", "Image ExifOffset": "1260", "Thumbnail Compression": "JPEG (old-style)", "Thumbnail XResolution": "72", "Thumbnail YResolution": "72", "Thumbnail ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormat": "1910", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormatLength": "2879", "EXIF ExposureTime": "1/60", "EXIF FNumber": "4", "EXIF ExposureProgram": "Unidentified", "EXIF ISOSpeedRatings": "400", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0221", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2006:08:16 04:46:30", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2006:08:16 04:46:30", "EXIF ComponentsConfiguration": "YCbCr", "EXIF CompressedBitsPerPixel": "2", "EXIF ExposureBiasValue": "0", "EXIF MaxApertureValue": "4", "EXIF MeteringMode": "Pattern", "EXIF LightSource": "Unknown", "EXIF Flash": "Flash fired, auto mode, return light detected", "EXIF FocalLength": "34", "EXIF SubSecTime": "20", "EXIF SubSecTimeOriginal": "20", "EXIF SubSecTimeDigitized": "20", "EXIF FlashPixVersion": "0100", "EXIF ColorSpace": "sRGB", "EXIF ExifImageWidth": "975", "EXIF ExifImageLength": "1161", "EXIF SensingMethod": "One-chip color area", "EXIF FileSource": "Digital Camera", "EXIF SceneType": "Directly Photographed", "EXIF CVAPattern": "[0, 2, 0, 2, 1, 2, 0, 1]", "EXIF CustomRendered": "Normal", "EXIF ExposureMode": "Auto Exposure", "EXIF WhiteBalance": "Auto", "EXIF DigitalZoomRatio": "1", "EXIF FocalLengthIn35mmFilm": "51", "EXIF SceneCaptureType": "Standard", "EXIF GainControl": "Low gain up", "EXIF Contrast": "Soft", "EXIF Saturation": "Normal", "EXIF Sharpness": "Normal", "EXIF SubjectDistanceRange": "0"}
