Watch Truth Duty Valour online: Episode 2 Naval Boarding Party

Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO) has become an integral part of the Canadian Navy’s deployment preparations. From the Adriatic Sea to the Persian Gulf, young sailors have been called upon to board, search and seize ships under United Nations mandates. Often the boarding teams deal with hostile opposition – they have prepared for any event. In this fascinating show, we join a group of young sailors from various Canadian warships, doing the basic Boarding Party Course in Esquimalt, British Columbia. From learning hand-to-hand combat to searching the depths of large container ships, we see and experience what these sailors must deal with at sea during dangerous and challenging boarding operations.
