    Eastern Maverick 2009

    Capt. Jason W. Milbrant, 3rd platoon commander for 4th Reconnaissance Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, helps members of the Qatar Amiri Land Force Special Forces put the finishing touches on a slide charge as part of a door breaching class, March 31, in Qatar. Third platoon is attached to Battalion Landing Team 1/1, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit to conduct Exercise Eastern Maverick 2009. Eastern Maverick is a bilateral training exercise designed to build and improve cooperation between both military forces. Marines and sailors worked alongside Qatari military forces for nearly two weeks conducting a number of training exercises to include small-unit vehicle training and live-fire exercises, as well as pilot training with the Qatari Air Force. The 13th MEU and Boxer Amphibious Ready Group are currently on a deployment in support of regional Maritime Security Operations. MSO help develop security in the maritime environment and complement the counterterrorism and security efforts of regional nations. From security arises stability that results in global economic prosperity. These operations seek to disrupt violent extremists' use of the maritime environment to transport personnel and weapons or serve as a venue for attack.
