A sailor with the Beninese Navy conducts a personnel search during a theater security cooperation engagement with U.S. Marines in Contonou, Benin, Nov. 27, 2014. Training focused on weapons safety and handling, rules of engagement, escalation of force, personnel and vehicles searches, vehicle entry points as well as entry control points — ending with a final exercise that tested the collective tactical knowledge learned over the course of the training engagement. Marines with SPMAGTF Crisis Response-Africa conducted the TSC engagement to help develop and enhance armed sentry skills as the Beninese Navy is preparing to deploy on a peace-keeping mission to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where they will be standing sentry duties.
