The Wider Image: Inside Taiwan's brutal navy frogmen bootcamp
An ARP trainee tries to stay awake while being painted with camouflage at a late night training session during the last week of a ten week intensive program to become a member of the Taiwan navy's elite Amphibious Reconnaissance and Patrol unit, at Zuoying navy base, Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan, December 20, 2021. The trainees have to endure everything from long marches to hours in the water, with constant screaming at by their instructors. Of the group of 31 who started the program, only 15 finished.
