    A U.S. Marine in full combat gear and MARPAT desert camouflage is restraining a civilian or role-player on the deck of a small military vessel at sea. The Marine is applying what appears to be flex-cuffs or zip ties to the seated individual's wrists, consistent with a visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) training exercise or detention scenario. The setting is open ocean under overcast skies.

    U.S. Marines with C Company, 2d Reconnaissance Battalion (Recon Bn.), 2d Marine Division (MARDIV) participate in visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) training with Netherlands Marines with the 32nd Raiding Squadron near Netherlands Marine Barracks Savaneta, Aruba, Nov. 13, 2020. VBSS skills are critical when fighting in littoral and coastal regions. 2d Recon Bn's mastery of these skills is paramount so they can integrate effectively with their naval counterparts to win the next major conflict. Being able to learn from the Dutch Marines in their primary area of operation helps 2d Recon Bn. build a faster, more mobile, and more lethal force when operating in diverse locations.
