Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 5

Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 5 (MSRON 5) is a United States Navy unit specializing in expeditionary maritime security operations. Activated in the early 2000s as part of the Navy’s reorganization of its maritime security forces, MSRON 5 has provided critical port and harbor security, high-value asset protection, and anti-terrorism/force protection for naval and joint forces worldwide. The squadron’s highly trained Sailors have deployed to strategic locations such as the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, and the Western Pacific, often supporting major fleet and joint operations. MSRON 5’s adaptability and professionalism have made it a vital component of the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command’s mission to ensure maritime security in contested and high-risk environments.
