The team was staffed mostly by naval officers. Operations were authorised by then vice-president George H.W. Bush and used Delta Force and the United States Marine Corps, bypassing the CIA.[3] In September 1985, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Allied Forces Southern Europe (CINCUSNAVEUR/CINCSOUTH).[1] He took command in November 1985.[1] In this position, Moreau oversaw the largest of the four military regions under Allied Command Europe, with an area of responsibility including Italy, Greece, Turkey, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean, and including United States Sixth Fleet and U.S. Naval Activities, United Kingdom.[1][2] On December 8, 1986, Moreau died of a heart attack at a military hospital in Naples, Italy, at the age of 55, while still on active duty.[1][2] Navy officials were reportedly shocked at Moreau's death.[1] Admiral James B. Busey IV was appointed to replace Moreau.[4] Moreau was survived by a wife and five children.[2] Notes1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Adm. Arthur S.
