POTD: Swenex – The Amphibious Battalion regains control over the Island

    Today we take a look at the exercise Swenex 19, as the Amphibious Battalion in Sweden shows off their skills.

    Photo Of The Day, and we are thrown into action as a fictitious opponent has landed by helicopter starting to take control over the area. A counter-attack was launched, and the groups had to defend themselves. Notice the debris in the air from the helicopter.

    “To see and observe, but to remain unseen. Always be on your guard!” – This looks like an H&K G3, Ak4.
