The deployment transits the Car- ibbean Sea and areas of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and reinforces the strategic importance of these vital sea lanes of communications. The idea of a training deployment to South America was first conceived in 1959 and was developed un- der the direction of the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral A. Burke. Unitas has been oriented toward anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, electronic warfare, communications, seamanship, and freeplays which employ all facets of naval warfare. Most recently, amphibious operations, naval gun- fire support, helicopter crossdecking, mine warfare, and coast guard operations have also been incorpo- rated into the deployment. The operational exercises conducted under the aegis of Unitas are unique in that no formal agree- ments govern their execution. Unitas is truly a Navy-to-Navy operation. The name Unitas (Latin for Unity) is aptly chosen for the deployment. Because it was formulated and implemented with an emphasis on cooperative efforts, Unitas has historically been of mutual benefit to the respective participating navies. Senior South American and U.S. naval officers who have been in- volved in Unitas during its lengthy history consistently extend strong support for continuing these op- erations.
