How do you sweep mines ahead of invasions

I'm pretty new to UV, but have been reading the forum quite a bit. How do you use minesweepers (MSW/DMS, etc) to sweep mines. Will they sweep if you include them in a Transport (or other type) task force, or do you need to create a seperate Minesweep task force? If you create a seperate TF, to sweep for an invasion, can you set the MSW tf to follow the Transport tf with the invasion force?

Thanks for your help. This is a really terrific game. Wish I had more time to work with it.

Send MSWs in in the Transport TFs. DMSs are faster and can be put in bombardment TFs.
