    Military personnel are conducting a baton/defensive tactics training exercise on what appears to be the deck of a naval vessel. One service member in Navy Working Uniform (NWU) is striking a padded shield held by an instructor wearing full protective gear including a helmet and body armor. A group of observers in camouflage uniforms watches the drill in the background.

    A Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps midshipman practices baton strikes with Fire Controlman Second Class Nicholas Dilley aboard the Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Montgomery (LCS 8) while the ship is conducting routine operations in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations, June 11, 2026. The summer training program fully integrates midshipmen into shipboard crews, providing vital operational exposure and inspiring the Navy's next generation of surface warfare leaders. Littoral combat ships are fast, optimally-manned, mission-tailored surface combatants that operate in near-shore and open-ocean environments, winning against 21st-century coastal threats.
