Approximately 150 troops with the Mongolian Armed Forces and Mongolian police were contaminated before running through a series of stations to earn their certification. The FTX participants received classroom instruction and executed dry runs of the OC course prior to their qualification run, which also served as a cumulative test on all non-lethal tactics covered thus far during the exercise. The training took place as part of the Non-Lethal Weapons Executive Seminar field training exercise, hosted annually in the Pacific region and led this year by Marines with 3rd Law Enforcement Battalion, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Mongolia, a regular participant, is hosting NOLES for the third time in 12 years. Non-Lethal Weapons Executive Seminar field training exercise, by #PACOM
