Marines with Headquarters Regiment, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, engage in an non-lethal weapons training course as a part of a security augmentation force (SAF) training event Oct. 11, 2018 on Camp Kinser, Okinawa, Japan. The SAF Marines practiced detainee handling procedures and non-lethal weapons tactics after being sprayed with oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray in order to learn how to effectively function and provide security while being affected by the spray. SAF Marines are trained to augment and assist base security forces across Marine Corps Base Camp Butler.
