A member of the Costa Rica special operations team pulls an evacuation sled loaded with a 250-pound mannequin to a marksmanship range during the Fuerzas Comando stress test event at Fort Tolamaida, Colombia, July 27. The stress events are designed to see how steady a competitor’s aim is when he’s been pushed to the point of physical exhaustion. The Fuerzas Comando competition was first established in 2004, has 17 participating nations this year, and continues to build the required capacity to confront common threats that cannot be defeated by traditional military means alone.
