Vessel Protection Detachments (VPDs)

Vessel Protection Detachments (VPDs) are specialized military teams assigned to protect ships, crew, and cargo from threats like piracy, terrorism, or sabotage. They are trained to provide security during maritime operations, especially in high-risk areas. VPDs operate by implementing security measures, conducting patrols, and responding to potential threats swiftly. Their goal is to ensure the safety and security of vessels and their personnel while at sea, allowing commerce and transportation to proceed smoothly and securely.
