Christian Seckler, kneeling, explains convoy tactics, techniques and procedures to Mongolian Armed Forces members and U.S. Marines and sailors June 23 at Five Hills Training Area, Mongolia, during convoy operations training at Exercise Khaan Quest 2014. KQ14 is a regularly scheduled, multinational exercise hosted annually by Mongolian Armed Forces and co-sponsored this year by U.S. Army, Pacific, and U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific. KQ14 is the latest in a continuing series of exercises designed to promote regional peace and security. This year marks the 12th iteration of this training event. During the training, the service members searched for simulated improvised explosive devices and then practiced what they would do in a real-world situation.

The Marines and sailors are with Company C, 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, which is currently assigned to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, under the unit deployment program.
