January 2, 2002 Sailors of Mine Warfare Readiness Group 4 recently departed Ingleside, Texas, to participate in a joint fleet exercise (JTFEX) 02-1 off the East Coast from Jan. 19-26. Sailors aboard the Ingleside-based coastal mine hunters USS Oriole (MHC 55), USS Shrike (MHC 62) and USS Cormorant (MHC 57), and mine countermeasures ships USS Warrior (MCM 10) and USS Gladiator (MCM 11), will join more than 23,000 Sailors and Marines of the USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) Battle Group (CVBG) and USS Wasp (LHD 1) Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) embarked. The exercise will be conducted in the waters off the Virginia and North Carolina coasts.

August 18, 2006 USS Warrior is currently participating in the multinational exercise PANAMAX (Panama Exercise) 2006, tailored to the defense of the Panama Canal, involving civil and military forces from the region.

September 13, MCM 10 returned to Naval Station Ingleside after a five weeks of mine countermeasure operations during PANAMAX 06, an exercise off the coast of Panama, designed to counter potential terrorist attacks against shipping or canal infrastructure.

November 9, 2007 USS Warrior completed Gulf of Mexico Exercise (GOMEX) 08-2 in the Corpus Christi operating area. This exercise marks the transition from a training group to fully capable and deployable assets in the MCM arsenal.

March 6, 2009 The commander of U.S. 2nd Fleet announced that the first two of eight mine countermeasure ships will begin the transfer from 2nd Fleet's Area of Responsibility to 3rd Fleet. The two ships will depart Naval Station Ingleside's waterfront March 9 and begin a month-long journey to a new homeport in San Diego. USS Warrior and USS Chief (MCM 14) are set to leave for a permanent change of duty station in accordance with the Department of Defense Base Relocation and Closure Commission's directed closure of Naval Station Ingleside. Four of the six remaining ships will set sail in phases once maintenance and upgrades are complete. Two other MCM ships will be heavy lifted. This move begins the consolidation of mine warfare surface assets in one location to align resources, consolidate expertise and increase cost savings in maintenance, training and operations.

April 10, USS Warrior, commanded by Lt. Cmdr. Joseph Femino, with the assistance of USS Chief and the Mexican Navy, rescued two fishermen 36 miles off the coast of Mexico April 5.

April 17, MCM 10 arrived in its new homeport of San Diego for the first time.
