U.S. Green Berets assigned to 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) provide cover for a maneuvering element during a direct-action live-fire exercise on Fort Story, Virginia Beach, June 25, 2026. The 24-hour exercise challenged the Green Berets across four distinct direct-action raids, progressing from single-room close-quarters clearance missions to complex, multi-cell operations under limited visibility. This rigorous training increased the team's ability to rapidly deploy, neutralize threats and survive in highly-contested combat environments. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Laurian Blanco)
