On 1 August 1972, by order of the Chief of Naval
Operations, Beach Jumper Units 1 and 2 underwent a
number in changes in concept, structure and
direction. The most obvious of these changes was the
emergence of a new name for the unit. The commands
were redesignated Fleet Composite Operational
Readiness Group ONE (FLTCORGRU ONE [Pacific])
and (FLTCORGRU TWO [ Atlantic]). That mouthful of a
cover name was ordered to emphasize the importance
of the command's mission in all areas of Naval
Warfare.
Only for purposes within this website these
commands are listed as FCG1 and FCG2.

In June 1986, FLTCORGRU was redesignated Fleet
Tactical Deception Group Pacific (FLTDECGRUPAC) and
Fleet Tactical Deception Group Atlantic (FLTDECGRULANT).
Their new mission statement:
"Assisting Commanders in the planning
and conduct of tactical military deception
operations."
Now the groups would orchestrate their deceptions
through the application of sophisticated
technologies.
In 1987, FLTDECGRUPAC received the Meritorious Unit
Commendation for outstanding service in support of
deployed Pacific Fleet forces and staffs in the
critical areas of Electronic Warfare and Command,
Control, and Communications.
Thus the Beach Jumpers lineage lives on and the
planning and execution of the art and science of
seaborne deception continues.
Only for purposes within this website these
commands are listed as FDG1, FDG2 and CCWG.
