Lawrenceville native supports Navy task group countering Russian undersea threats


By Stephanie Fox, Navy Office of Community Outreach MILLINGTON, Tenn. – Lt. j.g. Brian Rainwater, a native of Lawrenceville, Georgia, will support the U.S. Navy’s new Task Group Greyhound while serving aboard USS Thomas Hudner. The task group was established to ensure warships in the Western Atlantic are continuously ready to accomplish a full range of on-demand missions including missions to counter Russian undersea threats to the homeland.


“Task Group Greyhound is an important part of our ship's mission because it gives our ship the opportunity to serve as a real world asset directly supporting national defense and the protection of our homeland,” said Rainwater. “It gives us the opportunity to put our training and preparation to use on the global stage.”

With more than 90 percent of all trade traveling by sea, and 95 percent of the world’s international phone and internet traffic carried through fiber optic cables lying on the ocean floor, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to a strong and ready Navy.
