Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group 1 (SNMCMG1) was established in 1973 as Standing Naval Force Channel (STANAVFORCHAN) to clear World War II mines from the English Channel. Fifty years on, it remains an active High Readiness Task Group, with a long history of clearing ordnance from the seas, making maritime routes safer for all maritime activity. SNMCMG1 celebrated the half-century milestone with a ceremony at Riga Passenger Terminal where the ships’ crews and guests from NATO member and partner nations gathered on the flag-festooned quayside. Distinguished guests included ambassadors and military representatives from all nations who have made regular contributions to SNMCMG1 including many former Task Group commanders.
