Lance Corporal Colt D. McGinnis, a Farmersville, Ohio, native and crowd-control instructor from 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, teaches the importance of keeping “the guard” up while teaching basic baton techniques to partners from Burkina Faso during Exercise Western Accord 2012. The crowd control training taught the basics of baton work, use of shields, forming a shield line, keeping rhythm in the line, and the deployment of “snatch teams” that are used to acquire and detain high-value individuals, such as a riot leader. Exercise Western Accord 2012 is a multi-lateral training exercise with West African nations to increase understanding and interoperability, prevent conflict by enabling Africans to provide for their security and stability, strengthen relationships with partner nations, and promote and support U.S. national security priorities. Participating African nations include Senegal, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Gambia.
