Staff Sgt. Andrew K. Kral, explosive ordinance disposal technician for Combat Logistics Battalion 13, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit and Placerville, Calif. native, explains to members of the Qatar Amiri Land Force Special Forces, how to place a blast-cap into dynamite during a demolition range, April 2, in Qatar during 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. This exercise provided important opportunities for Marines and sailors to work together with friends in the region, thereby helping to enhance understanding, security and stability throughout the Middle East. 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.
