    Two tactical operators dressed in full black uniforms and helmets are rappelling down a large wooden training wall. Both personnel are equipped with firearms slung across their bodies and are suspended by ropes in dynamic descent positions.

    Royal Moroccan Navy personnel rappel down a rappel tower at the Royal Moroccan Navy Diving School's Maritime Training Facility in Tangier, Morocco, July 23, 2026. The facility, developed through years of U.S.-Morocco security cooperation, supports maritime interdiction and boarding training while enhancing interoperability between the Royal Moroccan Navy and international partners. Co-hosted by the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces, U.S. Naval Forces Africa, and U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Europe and Africa, AMFS 2026 brings together international partners to address shared security challenges under the theme "Innovation and Partnership to Strengthen Maritime Security."

    Two tactical operators dressed in full black uniforms and helmets are rappelling down a large wooden training wall. Both personnel are equipped with firearms slung across their bodies and are suspended by ropes in dynamic descent positions. The setting appears to be a military or law enforcement training facility with a forested hillside visible in the background.
    Two individuals dressed in all-black tactical gear are performing an inverted rappel (Australian/commando rappel) down a tall brick training wall. Both operators are descending head-first while facing outward from the wall, suspended by ropes. At least one operator is visibly carrying a firearm, indicating this is a tactical or special operations training exercise.
    Two tactical operators dressed in full black uniforms and helmets are rappelling down the exterior wooden wall of a training tower structure. Both individuals are equipped with tactical gear, harnesses, and appear to be carrying firearms. The setting appears to be a military or law enforcement training facility, with vegetation and an overcast sky visible in the background.
    Four tactical operators dressed in all-black uniforms and helmets are positioned near a structure and shipping container at what appears to be a military or law enforcement training facility. One operator on the right is in an aiming stance with a rifle, while three others stand grouped together. A sign partially reading 'NAVY COMM' and 'RAPPEL TOW' is visible on the right side.
    Two military officers are posing together while jointly holding a ceremonial plaque or award. The officer on the left wears U.S. Marine Corps desert utility uniform with multiple ribbons, while the officer on the right wears a white naval dress uniform consistent with the Royal Moroccan Navy. The plaque contains Arabic text and English text reading 'With the Compliments of the Royal Navy Diving School, Kingdom of Morocco.'
    Three tactical operators in full black kit are positioned in a line, facing the camera. All personnel are wearing matching black uniforms, ballistic helmets, balaclava face coverings, tactical eyewear, and communications headsets. At least one visible patch and what appears to be a red-and-yellow flag patch suggest a specific national or unit affiliation.
