Petty Officer 3rd Class Nicholas Sullivan, left, and Sgt. Makeem Smith feel the jolt as 50-thousand volts course through their bodies during nonlethal weapons training aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6), underway in the Pacific Ocean, June 20, 2017. Sullivan is a corpsman and Smith is a postal clerk, both with Combat Logistics Battalion 31. Nonlethal weapons instructors with CLB-31’s Military Police Platoon trained Marines and Sailors from across the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit to use Tasers and other nonlethal weapons during security operations. A critical component of nonlethal weapons training is “exposure,” when trainees feel and experience the effects of nonlethal weapons, including Tasers. CLB-31 provides logistical support to all elements of the 31st MEU. Its Marines and Sailors specialize in security operations, movement of personnel and equipment, humanitarian assistance/disaster relief operations and mass casualty evacuation. The 31st MEU partners with the Navy’s Amphibious Squadron 11 to form the amphibious component of the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group. The 31st MEU and PHIBRON 11 combine to provide a cohesive blue-green team capable of accomplishing a variety of missions across the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
