Practicing close quarters combat skills

Brazilian marines with Marine Corps Special Operations Battalion (Tonelero) practice close quarters combat skills during training with U.S. Navy SEALs as part of a joint combined exchange training exercise in Brazil May 10, 2010. The bilateral training, conducted by the SEALs as well as U.S. Navy Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen, marks the first time the U.S. has engaged with the battalion in more than 25 years and is intended to strengthen ties between the two nations.
