The Commander United Kingdom Task Group (COMUKTG ) was a senior Royal Navy operational appointment the office holder commanded the United Kingdom Task Group from April 1992 to March 2015. In March 2015 the post holder was renamed Commander Amphibious Task Group.

History

Organisational changes in the Royal Navy in 1990 resulted in the First Flotilla being re-designated the Surface Flotilla. In April 1992, the system was changed again when the Third Flotilla was abolished. The existing Surface Flotilla's role had now changed the Flag Officer, Surface Flotilla - would now be responsible for operational readiness and training. The Second Flotilla under Rear-Admiral John R. Brigstocke was re-designated UK Task Group with new responsibilities the former Flag Officer, Second Flotilla now became Commander UK Task Group - who would command any deployed task group.[1]. Between 1992 and 2001 the office holder reported to the Commander-in-Chief, Fleet.

In April 2001 COMUKTG was re-named Commander United Kingdom Maritime Forces (COMUKMARFOR) at the rank of Rear-Admiral (2 star). The title COMUKTG remained in use but as a subordinate 1 star role under COMUKMARFOR.

Following the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review and implemented in January 2011 the Commander UK Task Group became Deputy Commander United Kingdom Maritime Forces. The same month the Commander Amphibious Task Group assumes the role of COMUKTG. The UK Amphibious Task Group was also renamed to be the Response Force Task Group (RFTG). In March 2015 the post was renamed back to Commander Amphibious Task Group.[2]
