YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe emergence of drug cartels working together with paramilitary groups has been a rising threat for countries in the Western hemisphere. One of the most effective responses has been Fuerzas Comando, an inter-military and special ops exercise attended by forces from across North, Central, and South America. The goals of the event are to promote inter-military relationships, increase interoperability, and improve regional security.
This year, military forces from 17 countries, ranging from Belize to the United States, came together for the exercises at one of Colombia's biggest military bases, Fort Tolemaida. While each country has its own set of security threats, they all share the need to boost and innovate their military capabilities.
In this extra scene, VICE News correspondent Daniel Hernández looks on with judges of the Fuerzas Comando special ops exercise as snipers compete in the practice of stalking their targets.
