    Barely able to open his eyes, a Bulgarian Armed Forces soldier fights the blinding effect of oleoresin capsicum (OC) pepper spray as he completes the final task of the non-lethal systems OC course during exercise Platinum Wolf 15 at South Base, Serbia, Nov. 18. The course is designed to test a participants ability to maintain control of a situation and perform defensive maneuvers and procedures, like detaining disruptive persons. Platinum Wolf is a peacekeeping operations exercise focused on non-lethal systems and basic infantry skills. Units train together as coalitions, developing and improving proficiency of peacekeeping procedures like crowd and riot control. Forces from Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and the U.S. will be participating in the two week training.
