U.S. Marine Sgt. Alejandro Paredes reacts to the high discomfort of oleoresin capsicum exposure at a nonlethal weapons training session in Samaesan, Kingdom of Thailand, Feb. 15, during exercise Cobra Gold 14. As part of this training, Royal Thai and U.S. Marines had to be tased and shot with OC spray. Describing the sensation of being tased versus sprayed, U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Benjamin Stanfield (not pictured) while still reeling from the effects, smiled and said, “[Tasing was the] worst five seconds of my life … but when it’s over, it’s over, and then it’s instant relief. OC feels like someone lit fire to your face, attached fish hooks to your eyelids and suspended them with cement blocks.” CG 14 is a multinational exercise designed to advance regional security and ensure effective response to regional crises. This training contributed to security capabilities by encouraging force deescalation and cautious employment of such devices. Paredes is a packaging specialist with Combat Logistics Battalion 4, 4th Marine Regiment. Stanfield is military policemen with 3rd Law Enforcement Battalion, III Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group. (U.S. Navy photo by Petty Officer 1st Class Joy M. Kirch-Kelling /Released)
