A non-lethal weapons instructor sprays oleoresin capsicum (a more potent form of pepper spray) over the eyes of a Marine with Golf Battery, Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, during the culminating event of the unit’s public disorder and non-lethal weapons employment training. Experiencing the effects of OC spray ensures Marines understand the effects and, if cross-contaminated during use, they are able to fight through the pain and perform their job. One of the secondary missions of Golf Battery is to serve as a non-lethal contingency force for the 31st MEU, useful in embassy security reinforcement, humanitarian operations and many other contingencies. The 31st MEU is the Marine Corps’ force in readiness for the Asia-Pacific region and the only continuously forward-deployed MEU. (Marine Corps photo by Gunnery Sgt. Ismael Pena)
