Photo Of The Day: A competitor in the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) International Sniper Competition ejects a spent shell casing while firing a rifle at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, March 22, 2021.

Photo Of The Day: Above we’re looking at a U.S. Marine with the Marine Rotational Force-Europe as he provides cover fire for his squad. This happened during the Exercise Aurora in 2017 in a place called Lärbro, Sweden. Aurora 17 was the largest Swedish national exercise for more than 20 years, and it included supporting forces from the U.S. and other nations. The target was to exercise Sweden’s defense capability and promote common regional security.

Photo Of The Day: The location is Camp Shelby, Mississippi, USA, with French Special Operations Forces visiting the U.S. 24th Special Operations Wing. The exercise was called Emerald Warrior. Camp Shelby is the largest state-owned training site in the nation, with a massive 136,000 acres (550 km2) area.

Welcome to our daily selection of pictures. By this time you know it, it’s TFB’s Photo Of The Day to keep you in a good mood. Get a coffee, take a break and enjoy a few minutes looking at the U.S. SOF with the Ak5 (FN FNC) below. This is quite an unusual sight, although we recently saw some U.S. Special Forces with Swedish Ak 4B Rifles.

Japan, the land of sushi, ninjas and volcanos. Here we are at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, looking at Aerial Sniper Training. In our Photo Of The Day, we have U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Ryan Lauritsen, a scout sniper with 3d Battalion, 3d Marine Regiment, engaging a target during aerial sniper training.

We’ve had a lot of pictures from the winter lately, so it’s only fair to bring in some heat into our Photo Of The Day. Here we have a U.S. Marine with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, assigned to the Special Purpose Marine-Air Ground Task Force – Crisis Response – Central Command. He fires an M107 semi-automatic long range sniper rifle during a live-fire exercise where the distances were unknown. This happened in Kuwait last year.

Each day a different image from the world of firearms. We call this POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, and it’s our daily article series where we go to great lengths trying to find the most interesting pictures for you out there. Quite often we pick pictures of various kinds of Special Forces, so you can get an insight into how they dress, what equipment and firearms they use.

We don’t usually open our Photo Of The Day with a song, but when it’s appropriate we take the liberty.

It’s time for some more UZI in TFB’s Photo Of The Day article series with some very clean Uzi Pro product photos taken by Jeremy Tremp of  Offensive Marketing Group (used with permission).

Photo Of The Day and a story where we can see operators from Forsvarets Spesialkommando (FSK), the Norwegian Special Operation Commandos during an exercise. The photographer is the highly skilled Torbjørn Kjosvold (Forsvaret).
