Full description: U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Adam Scherrer, front, an assistant team leader, and Cpl. Camdyn Counts, a radio operator, both with Battalion Landing Team 1/4, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, conduct a visit, board, search, and seizure training, aboard the amphibious transport dock ship USS Green Bay (LPD 20), in the Philippine Sea, Aug. 7, 2024. VBSS is part of maritime interception operations that aim to delay, disrupt, or destroy enemy forces or supplies in the maritime domain. The 31st MEU is operating aboard ships of the America Amphibious Ready Group in the 7th Fleet area of operations, the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region. Scherrer is a native of Colorado, and Counts is a native of Indiana. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Peter J. Eilen)

This community is for posting high quality photographs of militaries from around the world.

RULES:

1 - Keep it civil. No slapfights.

2 - Keep it classy.

3 - Keep it real. Posts must actually be photographs. No art or CGI mock-ups in the main image post; art or mock-ups may be added supplemental in the body of the post. Posted thread photos should not be edited aside from minor blurring of faces or other sensitive subjects, or date-time stamps.

4 - Keep it informative. Posts are encouraged to give descriptions and sources in the body paragraph. While not mandatory it will help foster discussions. Users are strongly encouraged to find and post the original source and photographer if the information is available.


COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION:

Pictures of any and all nations. Modern and historical photos are allowed. Photos may be of vehicles, equipment, troops, installations, or anything else military. Photographs of military hardware that is being displayed, but has not yet been adopted are allowed. Photographs of historical military equipment that are in a museum are allowed.

As a courtesy to the Lemmy.world server load, you are encouraged to host pictures rather than posting them directly.Easy options for hosting pictures include https://catbox.moe and https://imgur.com, but other domains are welcome.

When looking for photos to post here, try to look for ones that are unique rather than those which have been widely popularized already. Take care to avoid reposting as much as possible.

HELPFUL STUFF:

One source for photographs is the U.S. government run https://www.dvidshub.net, for anyone interested. Other sources are welcome.
