#GhanaArmedForces

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.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is all about photojournalism. Robert Capa was a Hungarian–American war photographer and photojournalist. He photographed many wars and had the motto “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough”. Unfortunately, this motto lead to his death as he was fatally injured in the Indochina War. These images may not be nearly as dangerous to shoot, but there’s a lot of action going on for sure. You see members of the Ghana Armed Forces onboard a boat, while teammates secure another ship. The images are from Flintlock Exercise in Volta, Ghana, from March 11, 2023.

The world is hungry for visual storytelling, and TFB’s Photo Of The Day does its best to keep the feed live. What made you click to see more is probably the picture above, where a member of the Ghana Armed Forces holds his position while other team members climb up a ladder (note the grappling hook) during the Flintlock exercise held in Volta, Ghana, on March 2023. Both these handguns (above and below) look like mock-ups, don’t you agree?
