Photo Of The Day and we are off to Africa, where a member of the Ghana Armed Forces pulls security while exiling the objective during Flintlock in Volta, Ghana, March 10, 2023. Last year’s exercise built on the success of previous iterations of Flintlock and focused on the transition from tactical execution to operational planning and multi-domain integration.

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) is the unified military force of the Republic of Ghana. The GAF is responsible for the defense and security of the country and operates under civilian control. It consists of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Below you can see some of their IWI Tavors.

      @B Snappy Cut resistance doesn't save you from lungs full of water?

      BTW was that even Ghana? I thought it was a different country.
