U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Blake Johnson with 3rd Law

U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Blake Johnson with 3rd Law Enforcement Battalion, III Marine Headquarters Group instructs service members from the Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine National Police in mechanical advantage control hold techniques at Fort Bonifacio, Philippines on Aug. 4, 2014 during the Non-Lethal Weapons Executive Seminar field training exercise. The effective use of non-lethal weapons can be extremely valuable during rescue missions, for force protection in civil disturbances, while controlling rioting and prisoners of war, for checkpoint or convoy operations, HA/DR operations, or in situations in which civilians are used to mask a military attack.
