A platoon from the Republic of Korea Marine Corps executes the patrolling training lane during Khaan Quest 2016 at Five Hills Training Area, Mongolia, May 31, 2016. This lane tests participants’ reactions to various scenarios including application of rules of engagement, protection of civilians, and patrolling tactics and procedures. Patrolling is one of eleven training lanes conducted during the exercise that exposes service members to different scenarios they may face during UN Peacekeeping Operations. Khaan Quest is an annual, multinational peacekeeping operations exercise hosted by the Mongolian Armed Forces, co-sponsored by U.S. Pacific Command, and supported by U.S. Army Pacific and U.S Marine Corps Forces, Pacific. Khaan
Quest, in its 14th iteration, is the capstone exercise for this year’s Global Peace Operations Initiative program and focuses on training activities to enhance international interoperability, develop peacekeeping capabilities, build mil-to-mil relationships, and enhance military readiness.
