Counter-Piracy Task Force

A Counter-Piracy Task Force is a specialized military or naval group dedicated to preventing and responding to piracy threats, particularly in maritime regions prone to piracy, such as the Gulf of Aden or the Indian Ocean. They monitor shipping routes, coordinate patrols, and work with international partners to ensure the safety of commercial vessels. Their goal is to deter pirates, protect maritime commerce, and restore safe passage for ships navigating through these areas. These forces use a combination of patrols, surveillance, and sometimes counter-attack strategies to maintain security at sea.
