    A Marine with Task Force Southwest executes a takedown during nonlethal weapons training at Camp Lejeune, N.C., Feb. 24, 2017. More than 30 Marines with the unit’s security element participated in the course, which enhanced their skills with weapons such as the M203A grenade launcher and Mossberg 500 shotgun, and built their hand-to-hand combat and defensive skills. Although these weapons can be lethal when using traditional ammunition, the Marines used rubberized ammunition, which would only incapacitate an opposing combatant. Task Force Southwest is comprised of approximately 300 Marines, whose mission will be to train, advise and assist the Afghan National Army 215th Corps and 505th Zone National Police.
