NAVAL STATION ROTA, Spain (July 10, 2026) Capt. Leslie A. Slootmaker relieves Capt. Robert J. Wheat as Commodore of Commander Task Force (CTF) 68 at a change of command ceremony, July 10, 2026. As the "Gateway to the Mediterranean,” NAVSTA Rota provides U.S., NATO and allied forces a strategic hub for operations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
