 Welcome to All Hands Update, here's what's happening around your Navy. The world's largest training exercise, the International Mine Countermeasures Exercise, concluded in the Middle East. The exercise focused on maritime security scenarios from the port of origin to the port of arrival. The training included mine countermeasures, infrastructure protection, and maritime security operations in support of civilian shipping. More than 400 mid-shipmen volunteered during the U.S. Naval Academy's annual Special Olympics competition. The mid-shipmen volunteers partnered with athletes competing in swimming events and helped ensure they arrived to the events on time and cheered them on during the event for moral support. Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and athletic competition for those with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and build friendships with volunteers.
