Navy SEALs conduct VBSS
A U.S. Navy SEAL from Naval Special Warfare Group 1 out of Coronado, Calif., conducts visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) training onboard the AOE-59 Hwachun – a Korean naval refueling vessel – in Jinhae Harbor, Republic of Korea, Mar. 20, 2012, as part of Foal Eagle 2012 - a multinational, joint-service exercise focusing on tactical-based warfare throughout the peninsula of Korea. Both U.S. and ROK Navy SEALs fast-roped out of a MH-47 Chinook helicopter prior to boarding and conducted the VBSS to demonstrate the interoperability between the two forces. (Photo by Army Sgt.
