Task Force 24 was a Starfleet task force extant in the late 24th century. It was part of the Starfleet Second Fleet. In 2377-78, Commodore Seiji Amasawa was Task Force 24's commanding officer aboard the flagship USS Akira (an Akira-class heavy cruiser commanded by Captain Yuko Harada). Task Force 24, deployed to the Federation/Tholian border, was then homeported at Starbase 251. (Ships of the Star Fleet, Vol. 4: Star Fleet Operating Forces. )
