Nearly 20 seriously wounded, ill, and injured service members from the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard were joined by another 20 fellow sailors from the British Royal Navy for an introductory adaptive sports camp at Port Hueneme on Joint Base Ventura County, January 15 - 22, 2024.
The partnership with the Royal Navy extends for nearly a decade, though it was on hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year marked its return. The sailors traveled from their duty stations in HMNB Portsmouth and HMNB Devonport. Some of them may go on to play for the U.K. in the Invictus Games.
