Romanian Special Operations Forces, U.S. Navy SEALs, and Special Warfare Combatant Crewman conduct Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) training in Romania, February 19, 2021. The exercise aimed to strengthen regional cooperation to further integrate with NATO interoperability standards.

First batch (18 pieces) of HIMARS MLRS aquisition (I think there will be 54 systems at the end) were received in Constanta port. They will supplement the LAROM and APRA older MLRS systems to add more firepower and accuracy at longer distances

Is that woman from Special Forces or some other branch and running that obstacle course ?

I think that guy from CSAR det used a Polish desert model uniform

Only Polish camouflge pattern ("Pustynna pantera" - "Desert panther"). The desert version uses the same pattern as the standard "Panther" wz.93, but with different colors. The uniform does not look Polish, so I guess it's about using the fabric itself in Polish desert camouflage.

Is that woman from Special Forces or some other branch and running that obstacle course ?

I believe she is one of the participants in the selection course for admission in Special Forces units (which is around six month I think, with various kind of tests). I think they do have a small number of girls in their ranks who might be better suited to act in some specific missions and environments.

They still need to go through all the testing and training but not sure if they have to meet all of the exact physical standards as the men. They seem to need to do the same at least some, as seeing with that obstacle course. Anyway I believe all the women accepted there have anyway a previous very solid background performing in various sports (canoeing, contact martial arts, rock climbing, parachuting, athletic disciplines, biathlon etc etc) and were already part of another army branch before to ask for joining Special Forces

Of the "SeaShield21" exercise in the coastal area, three mobile missile launch detachments of the Romanian Naval Forces and a battery of coastal missiles of the Polish Naval Forces participate, which will act in conjunction with Capu Midia, to repel enemy forces.

Polish sailors are taking part in Exercise "Sea Shield 21" for the first time and are present with a mobile surface-to-sea missile system "Kongsberg".
The sea sequences of "Sea Shield 21" are complemented by the exercise of operational procedures for the protection of land routes and the port of Constanța, in which a detachment of military divers specialized in the fight against improvised explosive devices (EOD) together with infantry subunits of Romanian Land Forces.
On Saturday, March 20, the Chief of Defense Staff, Lieutenant General Daniel Petrescu, and the Chief of Staff of the Naval Forces, Rear Admiral Mihai Panait, paid a working visit to the Capu Midia range, where Romanian and Polish naval missiles prepare for the sequences of the exercise "Sea Shield 21" of combat against enemy ships with ground-to-ship missiles.
