Lt. Cmdr. Eric Benson, naval gunfire liaison officer with 4th Force Reconnaissance Company, instructs Marine Sgt. J. Sevilla of San Bernardino County, Calif., an assistant team leader with 4th Force Reconnaissance Company, 2nd platoon, how to insert a blasting cap into a block of C4 explosive during demolition training at the Kaneohe Bay Range Training Facility Aug. 20, 2014. Benson, an ordnance clearance diver with extensive explosive ordnance disposal and demolition experience, helped augment the 4th Force Reconnaissance Company’s two-week annual training period with a Navy training team comprised of three explosive ordnance disposal members and an ordnance clearance diver. During their annual training period in Hawaii, more than 130 4th Force Reconnaissance Company Marines conducted exercises including live fire and demolition, small boat operations and scout swimming, and infiltration and ambush. The annual training period culminated in two days of full mission profiles that combined all the training elements into day and night operations for each platoon.
