According to Parikiaki, a Cyprus Defense Ministry press release confirmed that SAR Helicopters and Rescue Naval Units participated in the act, while the Joint Rescue Coordination Center in Larnanca oversaw its operations and worked together with the United States Navy's 6th Fleet/Command Task Force-65.
This marks the second time in this capacity, that the two nations have worked together this year; "NEMESIS-2014" was conducted on April 10th.
