Nigerian Navy Special Boat Service troopers and operators of the U.S. Army 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) on Thursday, completed a five-week Joint Combined Exchange Training (JCET).

Both forces trained together on several land-based skills and tactics, such as countering improvised explosive devises (IEDs).

The exercise is part of a series of U.S. engagements with the Nigerian military that provide opportunities for the elite units to work together, learn from each other, and strengthen relationships.

The U.S. Special Operations Command Africa made a statement today regarding the exercise that “Exercises like these are part of a series of U.S. engagements with African partner nations.
