Spray and Pray: MARFORRES Marines endure OC Spray during SAF Training
U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Ashley Barreno, a combat videographer with Communication Strategy and Operations, Headquarters Battalion, gets sprayed with oleoresin capsicum during the Security Augmentation Force course at Marine Corps Support Facility New Orleans, Sept. 13, 2019. OC spray is a nonlethal weapon Marines may use while on SAF duty. SAF training is designed to provide the facility with qualified and properly trained personnel ready to support the military provost marshal’s office. SAF Marines are required to participate in defensive tactics training, a gate procedures class, vehicle search training and qualify for level one contamination with oleoresin capsicum spray.
