The intent of Operation Serapis is to share information on unique and evolving capabilities and to learn what service specific strengths can offer to the stand-up of a joint task force headquarters. In addition to the SEAL unit JECC members attended tours on a Navy submarine, a Navy Carrier, and an Air Force Intelligence Wing. (DoD photo by Air Force Staff Sgt. Vanessa Valentine)
