Roary McClain from 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. a 9mm pistol used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force during close quarter marksmanship training. Close quarters marksmanship pairs soldiers together to train in a live fire exercise in a confined space. CQM is a key fighting skill, though it may seem easier as the distance is shorter there are a number of other factors that must be considered for success in this type of engagement. Members of the JGSDF put on a demonstration for their U.S. Army counterparts to showcase their weapon and movement skills during Orient Shield 14. Orient Shield 14 brings together the 2nd SBCT, 2nd Inf. Div. from JBLM and JGSDF members from the 11th Infantry Regiment, 7th Armor Division, Northern Army for combined light infantry, squad-level and urban assault training.
