Talk:Combined Task Force 151

3 Credible Sources to Create a Better Wikipedia Article on Combined Task Force 151

I recommend adding the "Somalia; The Big Three Counter-Piracy Task Forces Urge Ship Owners to Keep Up Their Guard," because it outlines current mission objectives, primary goals, and general policy procedures of the Contact Group. The command changes frequently and mission operations are rapidly progressing successfully each and every day. The current wikipedia article provides no mention of what specific missions have been conducted recently and what the level of concerns are going further. This article provides information from the Combine Task Force, NATO, and European Union in how Counter-Piracy efforts have become more effective and have been achieving more then any other piracy operation to date. It further educates Best Management Practices for Masters implementing protection measures to deter piracy. There has been a recent drop in Pirate Attacks throughout the Gulf of Aden and the Task Force have been in charge of the operation for years without any mention of how they conduct certain missions. This article outlines concerns from the Contact Group and provides factual input from international navies and all merchant vessels transiting through High Risk Areas. This article gives very recent, credible information about what the Combine Task Force missions and concerns are going further.

I recommend adding "Thai Navy likely to continue taking part in Gulf of Aden anti-piracy operations," because it specificly describes the hijacking of MT Smyrni, which marks the first successful seizure since February of last year by the Contact Group. The seizure was reported to Naval Operations Center by the Combine Task Force 151, which is under the Command of the Royal Thai Navy's Counter Piracy Task Group Commander. The Current Wikipedia article provides no mention of successful seizures by the CTF-151 or any other group. It further lacks information on current statistics of arrests and security measures taking place by the Task Force. This article i have provided gives inside awareness to the success of the Contact Group and what has actually been done to combat piracy. It gives very recent, credible information about what the Combine Task Force missions and concerns are going further.

I recommend adding "Singapore armed forces unit foils Pirate Attack in Arabien Sea," because the article provides detailed accounts of unsuccessful missions involving the Combined Task Force and the Signapore Armed Forces (SAF) Task Group. It takes in account that even though missions have failed, much more has been learned going further by these Tasks Forces, and overall mission objectives and policies have changed as a result. The article is very specific on detailed events of the operations at hand and makes people aware of what the Task Force Groups are doing on a daily basis when they come upon a pirate attack. It describes the usage of firepower for the first time, the steps taken by SAF and CTF in resposne to air support and other on scene assets. The support of international counter-piracy operations have gone unnoticed in the CTF's wikipedia article and this information outlines what this and other Task Forces do to implement there overall objectives. This article gives very recent, credible information about what the Combined Task Force missions and concerns are going further.
