Operations Office Report #7.1 – Task Force 17 and 93 Staff Updates!

June 20, 2025

Dear Bravo Fleet,

It’s me again with a small but exciting update—one new TFXO, one returning leader, and two fresh faces stepping up to join the operational fray!

New Task Force 17 Executive Officer

Captain Anna Caldwell is no stranger to the TF17 lounge. After four months of dedicated service as Task Group 38 Commanding Officer, they’re now stepping up as Task Force Executive Officer. I can personally vouch for their readiness and know they’ll be a fantastic partner to Captain Cressida Brennan.

Returning Task Group 38 Commanding Officer

Lieutenant Commander Pascal Reade is diving back into Task Force leadership, succeeding Captain Basmanoff as Task Group 38 Commanding Officer—a role they’ve held before. Welcome back, Pascal!

New Task Group 9 Commanding Officer

We’re also thrilled to announce that Lieutenant Commander Nacien Rixx has stepped up to support Task Force 17 as the new Task Group 9 Commanding Officer. This is a commendable move, and I’m confident Nacien will be a valuable addition to Captain Brennan’s team.

New Task Group 44 Commanding Officer

Please join me in welcoming Lieutenant Commander Meila Triss, who has just transferred into Task Force 93 and will be taking on the role of Task Group 44 Commanding Officer. Meila is thoughtfully exploring the path of leadership, and with Fleet Captain Alexandria Mitchell as a mentor, they’re set up for success!

Please join me in congratulating all four of these outstanding officers on their new roles!

Well done, and welcome aboard!
