The last days have seen the initial stages of the exercise, where the organization of many activities and events took place, including theoretical lectures and practical data and skills in the field and combat tactics used by the Special Forces, the implementation of many fire shootings from different positions, the disposal of explosive ordnance, and joint diving, practicing joint combat operations management during day and night to secure a maritime zone against various threats, as well as search and rescue training, combating naval mines and practicing the right to visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS). This is all aimed at honing the skills of the participating elements and standardizing the operational concepts and exchange of training experiences between them.
