Video: What's in the kit of a Portuguese Marine?

We take a look inside the kit of 2nd Sgt André Ascensão, a section commander in the Portuguese Reconnaissance Platoon. 

The group were operating in Lithuania as part of NATO Assurance Measures which comprise land, sea and air activities in, on and around the eastern part of the Alliance. 

Footage includes all aspects of the equipment a marine would carry on operation, and an interview in Portuguese describing the items. 

All soldiers were operating within a self-contained bubble in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines for NATO deployments in the Baltics. NATO videographers observed these guidelines in accordance with NATO policies.
