The 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne, 10 SFG), 10th SFG (A), of the US Army has participated this year in several joint training sessions with the Special Operations Group "Valencia" III (GOE III) of the Spanish Army, at the "Alférez Rojas Navarrete" Barracks in Alicante, headquarters of the Special Operations Command (MOE). Both the American unit and the Spanish unit have the green beret as their distinctive garment, which is why their operators are known in this way.

The US Army released today the images of these training sessions, including two videos that you can see merged here:

You can see below some photos of this training that have been published by the US Army.
