The notorious "Buddy Brick" drill at the US Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer School. Two candidates must move a brick across the bottom of the pool, but the brick can only be moved when two people are touching it. One person must remain at the bottom while the other surfaces for air.

Delta Force and 160th SOAR conducting an urban training operation in Los Angeles. Few pilots possess the skill to land a helicopter at night in a parking lot surrounded by trees and light poles. But for the 160th, this is just another night at the office.

Leo Prinsloo. Former Captain in the South African Police Service Special Task Force, which is the country’s equivalent of the SAS, involved in everything from counterterrorism to security details for two US presidents and the Queen of England. After leaving the service, he became a tactical training instructor and took on part time work as an armed security escort in Pretoria. On April 22, 2021, on the N4 highway in Pretoria, his cash in transit vehicle was ambushed by a heavily armed gang who opened fire and began a high speed chase. Prinsloo immediately took evasive action, weaving through traffic, ramming one of the attack vehicles, absorbing multiple rounds through the bulletproof glass, and driving himself and his partner out of the kill zone. When the vehicle eventually stopped, he grabbed his rifle, exited the truck, and set up an ambush of his own. The robbers saw him kneeling down to take aim and fled without taking a single rand (dollar). His partner Lloyd Mtombeni was on only his fourth day on the job. The dashcam footage went viral worldwide, and tens of millions of people watched it. Prinsloo downplayed his actions and said the real heroes are the cash in transit workers who face these risks every day.
