Members of the Special Operations Command and a U.S. Special Forces team conducted joint training in Udbina and the Split littoral zone during March and April
Members of the Croatian Special Operations Command and a U.S. Special Forces team carried out Joint Combined Exchange Training (JCET) exercises in March and April, spanning the Udbina region and the Split littoral zone.
The objective of the joint training was to facilitate the exchange of operational experience, strengthen the integration of allied units, and improve overall interoperability.
This year’s activities included parachute jumps over land and water, live-fire exercises conducted under situational and instinctive combat scenarios during both day and night, and the exchange of procedures related to mechanical, ballistic, and explosive breaching.
In the final weeks of the exercise, training focused on specialised areas, including the execution of Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) operations on moving vessels using RHIBs, combat diving, beach landing operations, and underwater navigation.
The cooperation was conducted at a high professional level, with operational support provided by personnel from the Croatian Navy and the Croatian Air Force.
