Welcome to another Photo Of The Day! Today’s selection features a Honduras special operations team member as he spots a target at the sniper event during Fuerzas Comando 23 at Sierra Prieta, Dominican Republic, June 2023. Twenty-two countries competed in Fuerzas Comando (FC23), a special operations force skills competition, to earn the title of the country with the “best special operations force in the Americas” between June 12-22 in the Dominican Republic. The sniper rifle is a Barrett MRAD with a Leupold riflescope.

Below: There were quite a few more competitors around.

    I can't even look at a Mexican soldier without wondering if they work for the cartel.
