Commander United Kingdom Maritime Forces is a senior post in the Royal Navy
Commander UK Maritime Forces or COMUKMARFOR, is the highest sea-going command in the Royal Navy and is part of the Fleet Battle Staff based in Portsmouth. The Commander has the 2 star rank of Rear Admiral. The current COMUKMARFOR is Rear Admiral George Zambellas DSC RN.
The Commander UK Maritime Forces is a renaming of a previous position, Commander United Kingdom Task Group. Despite the name change, he still performs the same function. He is in command (at sea) of naval task forces and task groups formed for specific operations. He is in charge of the UK Task Group and the UK Amphibious Task Group which are both commanded by Commodores.
COMUKMARFOR works closely with his equal in the Fleet Battle Staff, the Commander UK Amphibious Forces (COMUKAMPHIBFOR) who is a Royal Marine. COMUKMARFOR is responsible for blue-water warfare, as opposed to COMUKAMPIBFOR who is responsible for littoral warfare.
