Overview
Mission capabilities
U.S. Navy carrier strike groups are employed in a variety of roles, all of which involve gaining and maintaining sea control.[5] The core mission capabilities of Carrier Strike Group Three (CARSTRKGRU 3) include:[Note 1]
- Forward Presence
- Deterrence
- Sea Control
- Power Projection
- Maritime Security
- Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Response (HADR)
Historical background
Carrier Division Two (CarDiv 2) was established on 30 September 1937, consisting of the fleet aircraft carriers
After the war, aircraft carriers assigned to Carrier Division Two were involved in the
In the Summer of 1992, the U.S. Navy instituted a concept which mandated greater task group integration of naval air and surface warfare assets into a more permanent carrier battle group structure. Instead of routinely changing the cruisers, destroyers, and frigates assigned to each carrier battle group, there was an attempt made to affiliate certain escorts more permanently with the carriers they escorted. Each of the Navy's 12 existing carrier battle groups was planned to consist of an aircraft carrier; an embarked carrier air wing; cruiser, destroyer, and frigate units; and two nuclear-powered attack submarines.[8] Commander Carrier Group Two (ComCarGru 2) was the Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC) of the Harry S. Truman Carrier Battle Group.[6]
Effective 1 October 2004, in keeping with the CNO’s Guidance from Admiral Vernon E. Clark, Commander Carrier Group Two (ComCarGru 2) and its the Harry S. Truman Carrier Battle Group were re-designated as Carrier Strike Group Two (CARSTRKGRU 2).[1][9]
Command structure
Commander Carrier Strike Group Two (COMCARSTRKGRU 2) serves as Immediate Superior-in-Command (ISIC) for the ships and units assigned to the Carrier Strike Group. Acting as an Operational Commander, COMCARSTRKGRU 2 exercises oversight of unit-level training, integrated training, and readiness for assigned ships and units, as well as maintains administrative functions and material readiness tracking for ships and squadrons assigned to the group.

The strike group participates in the Joint Maritime Course (JMC-043) north of Scotland between 25 - 28 October 2004. JMC-043 included strike, surface, and submarine warfare exercises with a multi-national force.[21] CARSTRKGRU 2 subsequently paid a port visit to Souda Bay, Crete, between 5–8 November 2004.[12]
Carrier Strike Group Two transited the
CARSTRKGRU 2 paid a port visit to Bahrain between 13–18 December 2004.[22] Despite plans to cross the equator and visit South Africa, diplomatic issues caused the strike group to transit the Suez Canal, stopping in Portsmouth, England, prior to returning to the United States on 19 April 2005.[13][15][24][25][26]
2005 Operations
The aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt was re-assigned at the flagship for Carrier Strike Group Two, and the carrier Harry S. Truman was re-assigned at the flagship for
Joint Task Force Exercise 05-2: Operation Brewing Storm
Carrier Strike Group Two (COMCARSTRKGRU 2) participated in Joint Task Force Exercise 05-2 (JTFEX 05-2), code-named Operation Brewing Storm, between 14–22 July 2005. The operation involved warships from four navies, and it presented U.S. and coalition forces with realistic and dynamic exercise threats that closely replicate operational challenges military forces routinely encounter around the world. It was designed to provide quality, realistic training to prepare U.S. forces for joint and combined operations.

On 6 February 2006, a chapter in naval aviation history drew to a close when the last Grumman F-14 Tomcat was recovered from a combat mission landed onboard the Theodore Roosevelt.[30][35][36] This deployment also marked the final mission for the Navy's last two F-14 squadrons, VF-31 and VF-213, as well as the final deployment of the Lockheed S-3 Viking ASW aircraft of VS-24.[30][31][36] The strike group completed its deployment when CARSTRKGRU 2 transited the Suez Canal on 15 February 2006, and Carrier Strike Group Two returned to Norfolk on 11 March 2006.[30]
USS Theodore Roosevelt maintenance & yard overhaul period
On 7 March 2007, USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) began a nine-month Planned Incremental Availability (PIA) in Norfolk, which saw the addition of RAM missiles, JP-5 (fuel system) alteration, and installation of a new electronic throttle system in the ship’s propulsion plants, among other upgrades.[37] On 17 December 2007, Carrier Strike Group Two operated together for the first time since the Theodore Roosevelt completed its PIA at Norfolk Naval Shipyard three weeks earlier.[38] Joining TR were the guided-missile destroyers USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) and USS Mason (DDG-87) and the guided-missile cruisers USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) aznd USS Monterey (CG-61).[38]
2008–2009 Operations
Joint Task Force Exercise 08-4: Operation Brimstone
July 21–31, 2008, over 15,000 service members from four countries participated in Joint Task Force Exercise 08-4 (JTFEX 08-4), code-named Operation Brimstone, in North Carolina and off the eastern U.S. coast from Virginia to Florida. It served as a ready-for-deployment certification event for Carrier Strike Group Two (CSG-2) and the
This exercise is a tremendous opportunity to train; not only as the Navy and Marine Corps team, but with our joint and coalition partners as well. JTFEX 08-4 will flex our warfighting capabilities from the operational level through expeditionary strike force and strike group operations with several of our coalition partners – France, Brazil and the United Kingdom.[39]
The exercise also marked the first time that forces from Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC), under the command of Rear Admiral Mike Tillotson, participated in an East-Coast JTFEX. NECC forces operating in the littorals and riverine environment supported integrated operations.[39]
Carrier Strike Group Two (CARSTRKGRU 2) consisted of the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71); Carrier Air Wing 8 (CVW-8); the guided-missile cruiser Monterey; DESRON-22 guided-missile destroyers The Sullivans, Mason, and Nitze; and the nuclear attack submarine Springfield.[39] The Iwo Jima Expeditionary Strike Group (IWO ESG) consisted of amphibious assault helicopter carrier Iwo Jima; the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (26 MEU); the amphibious transport dock ship San Antonio; the dock landing ship Carter Hall; the guided-missile cruiser Vella Gulf; the guided-missile destroyers Ramage and Roosevelt; and the nuclear attack submarine Hartford.[39] British light aircraft carrier Ark Royal, the Brazilian frigate Greenhalgh (F-46), and the French nuclear submarine Améthyste, also participated in the exercise, with Greenhalgh being first Brazilian Navy ship to operate integrated in a U.S. strike group.[40][39]
The Navy Expeditionary Combat Task Group (NECTG) is made up of
Ships that participated in the exercise as simulated opposition forces included the guided missile cruisers San Jacinto, Normandy, and Anzio; the guided-missile destroyers Carney, Oscar Austin, and Winston S. Churchill; and the guided-missile frigate Carr.[39]

On 11 February 2011, Carrier Strike Group Two completed its three-week COMPTUEX training. CARSTRKGRU 2 boarding teams performed almost 20 practice visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) evolutions, while Carrier Air Wing Eight flew 1,808 sorties for a total of 3,777 hours of flight time. COMCARSTRKGRU 2 Rear Admiral Nora Tyson noted: "I am extremely proud of the George H.W. Bush Strike Group's performance during COMPTUEX. Our Strike Group and coalition team have come together and formed an effective and cohesive fighting unit."[57][59][60][61]
Carrier Strike Group Two paid a call to Naval Station Mayport on 11 February and subsequently departed for its Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX) pre-deployment training exercises on 14 February.[57][62] The strike group's JTFEX was supported by personnel from NATO's Headquarters Naval Striking and Support Forces (STRIKFORNATO), with representatives from Canada, Denmark, Greece, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdon, and the United States involved in the scenario-driven tactical exercise that focused on major combat operations. This was the first time that STRIKFORNATO had participated as a component commander in a carrier strike group certification. Its purpose is to increase multilateral interoperability among allied military forces.[63][64] Carrier Strike Group Two was certified as being combat ready on 21 February 2011 following the successful completion of its COMPTUEX and JTFEX pre-deployment training exercises.[65]
