This deployment throughout the Mediterranean basin will enable the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) to project power in support of the fight against terrorism in Iraq and Syria, to maintain a high level of independent situational awareness, to affirm France’s attachment to freedom of action as well as maritime and air navigation.

 

CLEMENCEAU22 will contribute to the defence of the European continent, while France took over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union for six months, from 1 January to 30 June 2022.
