U.S. Marines train Angola's Fuzileiros Operaçües Especiais Marines, Oct. 7, in room-clearing techniques in Lobito, Angola. The training came at the request of U.S. Naval Forces Africa and UK Royal Navy to support NAVAF’s Africa Partnership Station missions in the Gulf of Guinea. Five U.S. Marines and one U.S. Navy sailor from Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa took part in the training, alongside their UK Royal Marine Commando counterparts, which also included visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS), immediate action drills, patrolling, weapons handling, marksmanship and combat lifesaver training. The APS also made stops in Ghana, Nigeria and Togo. (Official U.S. Marine Corps photo by Navy Lt j.g. Jason Bond/Released)
