POTD: SWESOCOM – Swedish Special Forces with U.S. Air Force Special Tactics Operators

    SWESOCOM - Swedish Special Forces with U.S. Air Force Special Tactics Operators

    SWESOCOM in our Photo Of The Day, where details of the firearms are kind of secluded. Throwback to November 2020 when U.S. Special Operations Forces were drilling with military responder units in Sweden to rehearse how they would jointly confront an enemy force in the Baltics. Above you can see Swedish Special Forces with U.S. Air Force Special Tactics Operators, assigned to the 352d Special Operations Wing, study map overlays on a Swedish C-130H, for an MRZR vehicle dismount training.

    The Polaris MRZR is an ultra-light mobility choice for a wide range of tactical missions. In terms of firearms, we can expect the Swedish SOF (SOG) to be using carbines from LWRCI. You can check this article for more clues: Swedish SOG now confirmed with LWRCI and HK MP7.
