Latvia's Armed Forces have posted an online photo gallery of US infantrymen and Latvian national guardsmen cooperating on recent exercises in the east of the country.

The images show forces teaming up in Latgale region from 4-7 August to practice defensive drills just in case anyone should get it into their heads to do something dumb.

The full gallery can be viewed HERE.

The images also show how beautiful Latvia's forests are - provided you're not crossing the border without proper paperwork.
