SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 1,1999 Heppner man joins sailors G-T closed around the world Labor Day j / ✓ / Rodger A rntt Story by J. L. Chirrick The Navy must sometimes rely on allies to succeed in its missions and a great deal of cooperation is required before a multinational force can achieve a common goal. To achieve common goals, the U.S. Navy regularly trains with allied navies and ground forces. Recently, during joint operations in Southeast Asia. Rodger J. Amtt II took part in an exercise that brought allied hast and West nations together in the spirit of cooperation. The fifth annual event, known as the Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training Exercise (CARAT) 1999. drew military participation from the United States, Indonesia. Malaysia. Thailand. Singapore and the Philippines. Overall, the event involved more than 1.500 Navy and Marine Corps personnel m mock-combat scenarios designed to emulate real world events. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Amtt, the 31-year-old son of Rodger Amtt of Heppner, is a hospital corpsman on board USS Comstock (LSD 45). Amtt and other Sailors played an integral part in the success of CARAT 1999 The 15,745-ton Comstock, which is home ported in San Diego, is an amphibious assault ship operated by 340 officers and Sailors. Operating with an amphibious ready group. Comstock is capable of transporting 450 Marines to enemy foreign shores. As a hospital corpsman aboard Comstock, Amtt performs many duties that help to make Comstock a valuable naval asset. He said, "I work primarily as a supply petty officer for the medical department." While CARAT 1999 may be over, it provided all involved with practical experience for real situations. And should a situation arise in the future, our Navy and allies will be ready to stand and face the challenge as a team.
