RABKUT, Oman (Feb. 21, 2017) U.S. Marine Sgt. Benjamin Westmoreland, a scout sniper with Weapons Company, Battalion Landing Team 1st Bn., 4th Marines, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), peers into an M64A1 sight optic mounted to an M252 81mm mortar system during Exercise Sea Solider ‘17, Feb. 21. Before becoming a sniper, Westmoreland was an infantry mortarman, so he assisted the Marines setting up the weapon system. Sea Soldier 2017 is an annual, bilateral exercise conducted with the Royal Army of Oman designed to demonstrate the cooperative skill and will of U.S. and partner nations to work together in maintaining regional stability and security. The 11th MEU is deployed in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of maritime security operations designed to reassure allies and partners, preserve the freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce and enhance regional stability.
