English: CORONADO, Calif. (March 13, 2023) - His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei, left, speaks with Capt. David Abernathy, commander, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Group 1, during a visit to West Coast-based NSW units. The visit helps enhance the interoperability of the United States and Brunei’s special operations forces, enable an exchange of expertise, and build capacity to respond to mutual threats and promote a free and open Indo-Pacific. NSW is the nation’s elite maritime special operations force, uniquely positioned to extend the Fleet’s reach and gain and maintain access for the Joint Force in competition and conflict.
