U.S. Army Special Forces recently mentored operators from the Lithuanian State Border Guard Service’s Special Task Unit in small-unit tactics. The Green Berets led them through patrolling, react-to-contact and ambush lessons, improving their ability to respond to extreme circumstances.
The Lithuanian Border Guard stood up the STU 10 months ago to address smugglers transporting stolen goods and vehicles across Lithuania’s borders.
Footage includes shots of U.S. Special Forces soldiers mentoring their Lithuanian counterparts, and Lithuanian STU officers moving through drills. Soundbites from a U.S. special operations forces soldier (English) and from STU commander Ričardas Nariūnas (Lithuanian). English translation below.
Soundbite 1: Today we are training tactics for small units, working with our partners from US special forces. Specifically, today we working and training for ambush.
Soundbite 2: Our unit was established 10 month ago. Our main mission is to perform special tasks working with criminal intelligence units, pretrial investigation officers, border control officers. Our general task is to carry out special tasks at the border, apprehend people who are trying to smuggle illegal goods or trying to transport stolen cars. Another one of the main reasons is to raise the skills and competencies of our special forces to such a level that we could be competitive Lithuanian and national level among the special forces.
Soundbite 3: Our partnership started 3 months ago. We are very pleased to cooperate with special forces from America. First of all they have a lot of experience in teaching, they use a variety of teaching methods that are very useful for us. It is very important to have a good relationship and build relationships with colleagues from special forces and take their experience, which they share with us today.
