...as a potential search and detect platform for Counter Transnational Organized Crimes operations in South and Central America and the Caribbean Sea.

Is this the new term? Because I'm going to need to update a bunch of my FITREPS.

 

[MasterBates]

Sounds like a newspeak term for CD OPS to me.

Which, ironically, it hasn't been called for 9+ years now...at least on "important" documents.

 

[MasterBates]

Well, being the last time I did anything with it was 06, and it was called CNT then... But we all still called it CD OPS.

Never knew it was an option........the Navy keeps amazing me all the time.

CTOC as a term was pushed by the Administration, to incorporate not only CD but also other types of criminal activities. I've been seeing it since 2009.

Anyone happen to know the CDR Myers that this belonged to? Folks over at the Parachute Riggers FB are wondering.

No, I'm with you. Just funny how the names change, but not everyone gets the memo. Zab's post is a perfect example. I've done multiple briefs with JIATF-S at their place, have done countless training exercises with TACLET, and several deployments since 2009, and that term wasn't en vogue. No doubt it was there, but we were still told to use CNT.

As long as the funding kept coming...
