Mongolian Armed Forces members provide security and tell role players to drop their weapons during check point training June 29 at Five Hills Training Area, Mongolia, during 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 were faced with several different scenarios they could likely come across in real life such as a fight beginning inside the check point, improper identification being used and a firefight among separate entities near the check point. 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.
