FORT BRAGG, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, (November 4, 2026) - U.S. Green Berets assigned to 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) provide suppressive fire with a M240L machine gun to enable an assault team's maneuvers toward a trench during a nighttime live-fire for exercise War Horse at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Live-fire exercises allow Green Berets to refine crew-served weapons proficiency, synchronize supporting fires with maneuver elements and maintain combat effectiveness in limited-visibility environments. War Horse is a baseline lethality exercise, designed to enhance readiness and develop combat skills through realistic scenarios, reinforcing the decision-making, adaptability and lethality required to operate in complex operational environments. The exercise integrates and evaluates 22 individual and collective baseline tasks to ensure Green Berets are prepared to operate independently in austere, hostile and politically sensitive environments.
