COMPTUEX is an intermediate level exercise designed to forge the strike group into a cohesive fighting team and is a critical step in pre-deployment training. During COMPTUEX, more than a dozen ships, and Carrier Air Wing Seventeen (CVW-17) embarked on Kennedy, conducted war game exercises using training ranges along the East Coast of the and the Gulf of Mexico. The exercise took advantage of existing ranges under the NavyÕs comprehensive Training Resource Strategy (TRS). These ranges offer training facilities and realistic simulations, better preparing Navy ships and Sailors to participate in the Global War on Terrorism. Navy Photo.
