    U.S. Marines with Marine Rotational Force-Europe and Swedish marines board a Swedish Combat Boat 90 (CB-90) during amphibious assault rehearsal as a part of Exercise Archipelago Endeavor in Korso, Sweden, Aug. 30, 2018. Archipelago Endeavor was a bilateral training exercise in Sweden to enhance interoperability and strengthen security in the Baltic Region. This was the first time U.S. and Swedish marines trained as an integrated unit on the CB-90s to perform a company-level amphibious assault on the outer Stockholm archipelago.
