NORFOLK, Va. (NNS): Commander, Amphibious Group (CPG) 2 was disestablished Dec. 31, and commissioned as Commander, Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) 2, culminating nearly a year of preparation to become an operational command ready to deploy to the Middle East.
CPG 2 provided valuable insight and training during two exercises this past year for the establishment of an expeditionary platform that will take the command from an administrative position at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Va., to a fully operational command based in Bahrain in February.
