Alan Stowers, all non-lethal weapons instructors with 3rd Law Enforcement Battalion, III Marine Expeditionary Force, demonstrate a common team formation while conducting non-lethal weapons drills at Five Hills Training Area, Mongolia, Aug. 23.

The training took place as part of the Non-Lethal Weapons Executive Seminar (NOLES) field training exercise, hosted annually in the Pacific region and led this year by U.S. Marines with 3rd LE Battalion out of Okinawa, Japan. Mongolia, a regular participant, is hosting NOLES for the third time in 12 years. Garza is from Dallas, Massalski is from Townsend, Mass., and Stowers is from Garber, Okla.
