Operation Active Endeavour -2007: on patrolling corvette "Ternopil" (part 1)

Operation Active Endeavour was one of eight initiatives launched in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States in 2001. It was terminated in October 2016 and succeeded by Sea Guardian.
It helped deter terrorist activity in the Mediterranean Sea.
By tracking and controlling ships, Active Endeavour also helped secure one of the busiest trade routes in the world.
The operation evolved from a platform-based to a network-based operation, using a mix of on-call units and surge operations instead of deployed forces.
The experience accrued through Active Endeavour gave NATO unparalleled expertise in deterring maritime terrorist activity in the Mediterranean, especially with regard to the proliferation and smuggling of weapons of mass destruction and cooperation with non-NATO countries and civilian agencies.
Initially an Article 5 operation, Active Endeavour benefitted from support from non-NATO countries from 2004 onwards.
