At the time of the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom, [[Grand Duke Travis]] was the head of state of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]], the predecessor state to [[Westarctica]], and he was also serving in the United States Navy as an Intelligence Specialist. In this capacity, he deployed to the Persian Gulf onboard the amphibious assault ship USS ''Kearsarge''. The ''Kearsarge'' was one of seven ships that formed Amphibious Task Force (ATF) East, a group nicknamed "The Magnificent Seven." | At the time of the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom, [[Grand Duke Travis]] was the head of state of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]], the predecessor state to [[Westarctica]], and he was also serving in the United States Navy as an Intelligence Specialist.
