    Mountain Warfare Training Exercise 5-24 is a Marine Corp training exercise at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, CA. Both a mountain and a mobility operational detachment - alpha, ODA, trained alongside members of the U.S. Marine Corps 1st Marine Division and United Arab Emirates Presidential Guard, UAE-PG, which provided them with realistic problems to navigate complex terrain in both mounted and dismounted movements. The ODA’s training highlights included training the partner force in fixed line and rappelling techniques, an 1,100 foot high angle rescue mission, and a night raid.

    1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) conducts special operations throughout the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command areas of responsibility, in order to support command objectives and U.S. national interests. The group maintains and employs units of action to execute the full spectrum of special operations at a moment's notice with allies, partners, and the joint force. Committed to excellence and pursuit of tactical mastery, the group aims to uphold the legacy as the Indo-Pacific’s preferred, and most lethal special operations entity.
