Today Pakistan Navy conducted Coastal Security Exercise"Tahaffuz-e-Sahil" at Ormara to check the efficacy of security mechanism in place at Jinnah Naval Base and associated infrastructure against any Maritime terrorist threat. Special Operations Forces (SOF), Pak Marines, Pakistan Navy Ships and Helicopters participated in the exercise.
Yes a high degree of professionalism and coordination was displayed by the various segments of PN, other Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) and organizations so as to practice and boost the security of this important base of Pakistan Navy ,but this level is according to existing Navy and Marine assets.
Two key elements which Naval forces (including Marines) need desperately is
1.Amphibious Vehicles
Even Pak Navy donot have large support ships but still these are important to move around the coast .From 3 sides Gwadar & Ormara are surrounded by sea.These vehicles will multiply the force moveability.
Amphibious vehicles are viable on land as well as on Sea.
Hope recent LCM crafts join the show soon.
2.Gunship helicopters (Navy/Marine Dominated)
Sea kings did best job but marinee need Attack helicopters like Ah1Z.
Q: Naval Airbase at ormara is it workable?
