The USS Harry S. Truman is being placed under NATO command for the first time since the end of the Cold War as tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue to escalate.

The Pentagon said aircraft carrier and its strike group will participate in a NATO maritime exercise in the Mediterranean Sea which will last until February 4.

According to Pentagon press secretary John Kirby, the exercise, which will begin next Monday, is something that had been planned since 2020 and is not in response to rising tensions with Russia

Kirby said officials considered whether to carry on with the exercise because of the ongoing tensions, and have decided to move ahead.

He said the exercise was not planned anticipating a Russian move on Ukraine and is ‘not designed against any of the kinds of scenarios that might happen with respect to Ukraine’.
