A service member with the Mongolian Armed Forces and a U.S. Marine bump fists before assuming the roles of "aggressors" during the Oleoresin Capsicum (OC, or pepper spray) qualification course at Five Hills Training Area, Mongolia, Aug. 21. Police-grade OC spray measures at about 5.3 million Scoville heat units, more than 2,100 times that of a jalapeno pepper. 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 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.
