this article offers an unparalleled look into Finland's Navy Combat
Divers. The article describes their organization and equipment,
plus there is a full range of close-up photos to accompany it. The
photos show the divers performing all sorts of missions on and
under the water, as well as on land.
2. "There's Nobody Quite Like Us" - Gurkhas in Afghanistan
The Gurkhas are one of the famous outfits in the British Army, and
this article by Carl Schulze looks at Gurkhas serving in
Afghanistan. One unique advantage that Gurkhas have is their
ability to speak Hindi, which is very similar to Urdu, a language
spoken in Afghanistan. However, it's their military prowess that
comes to the fore in this article! A wide range of pictures show
these famous Gurkha soldiers engaged on missions in Afghanistan as
part of ISAF, alongside their equipment and vehicles.
3. Greek Police EKAM Counter-Terrorist Unit
The 2004 Athens Olympics are now a fading memory, but one reason
the Games ran so smoothly was because EKAM, a Greek police
counter-terrorism unit, was hard at work behind the scenes. This
feature examines the unit's background and capabilities, and is
ably supported by a series of detailed close-up photos of personnel
in action.
4. Wielding an Iron Sword - NATO Reaction Force in Norway

all get their turn in the spotlight in this closing article. All
sorts of vehicles make their appearance: MOWAG Eagle, Mercedes
Wolf, Patria XA-188, LMV, bridging trucks, AIFV, Leopard 2A6, and
more! The text offers useful insights into how this NATO Rapid
Reaction Force operates.
