Maryland Army National Guardsmen recently participated in a Non-lethal Individual Weapons Operator Course, a four-day certification program which trains Soldiers how to respond as a civil disturbance reaction force. The Guardsmen were trained on the use of a Taser, pepper spray, crowd control techniques and more, preparing them to assist in emergencies like 'Occupy Wall Street' and large events which may require additional security.
