Welcome to another edition of TFB’s Photo Of The Day! By now we suppose that most of our readers are familiar with the concept. We show you some cool images, but it doesn’t end there. There’s always a context to explain what’s going on. Here we have the U.S. East Coast-based Naval Special Warfare Operators (SEALs), as they conduct a Visit, Board, Search and Seizure training with the Croatian SOF (Special Operations Forces) to increase their maritime capabilities during Trojan Footprint 24.

The last time I was in the Adriatic Sea, I was more into sunbathing, swimming, dining and drinking.

Trojan Footprint is a multinational training exercise that brings NATO and partner forces together and demonstrates their ability to respond seamlessly to any threat made against global freedom and stability. Naval Special Warfare Group TWO produces, supports, and deploys the world’s premier maritime special operations forces to conduct full-spectrum operations and integrated deterrence in support of U.S. national objectives.
