 VVSS is Visit Board Search and Seizure. This is a common tactic used by navies and postcards throughout the world to go aboard commercial, recreational, and suspect vessels to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and general safe manning aboard the seat. Fortune Guard 22 will stress with allies and partners by showcasing the collective skill sets of the participants, as well as allowing those observer nations to see how these exercises work, how our non-proliferation boarding teams are actually structured, and how their operations might unfold. This helps us all in terms of enhancing our own skill sets, while at the same time sharing the best opportunities, procedures, and protocols from each of our respective nations.
