U.S. Marines set up the range range prior live-fire, non-lethal weapons training at Five Hills Training Area, Mongolia, Aug. 23. Before sending non-lethal ammunition downrange, personnel with the Mongolian Armed Forces and General Police received classroom instruction, a safety brief and conducted dry runs with the various weapon systems. The training took place as part of the Non-Lethal Weapons Executive Seminar (NOLES) field training exercise, hosted annually in the Pacific region and led this year by U.S. Marines with 3rd Law Enforcement Battalion, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Mongolia, a regular participant, is hosting NOLES for the third time in 12 years.
