Ixtoc-Alfa is a counter-terrorism base created by the Mexican Navy for the purpose of preventing terrorist attacks on the country's Gulf of Mexico oilfields. It was first opened on 22 December 2003. The base is located on the Campeche Bank, a coastal shelf off the Yucatán Peninsula. The base currently has a MI-17 MBT helicopter, 90H Fast patrol Boats. A special group named ASIES also provides security for better coverage and quick response in case of sabotage or if there is an unidentified vessel in the area. The area is permanently patrolled by Sa'ar 4.5 class missile boat navy vessels. Grumman E-2 Hawkeye early-alert planes also add up to the task. ==References== * (Opera la Armada base antiterrorista ) on ''El Universal'' * ( Construye una base antiterrorista en la plataforma petrolera Ixtoc-Alfa ) on ''La Jornada'' * ('Acorazan' plataformas petroleras ) on ''El Siglo de Torreón'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ixtoc-Alfa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
