Capt. Young Jae Kwon of the Republic of Korea (ROK) navy toured Naval Technical Training Center (NTTC) Lackland for a firsthand look at U.S. Navy security force training May 26.

Kwon serves as Chief of Planning, Department of Criminal Investigation Command in the ROK's Ministry of National Defense. He and Lt. Cmdr. Hyeong Jin Jun, his interpreter, are visiting various law enforcement facilities including NTTC Lackland, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and a Naval Criminal Investigative Service field office.

The ROK navy military police is an integral law enforcement and force protection partner for American ships entering ROK ports. In order to enhance the military police training program, Kwon's visit included discussions about requirements and procedures for security training, as well as curriculum and educations systems in use.

"We value our history nation partnerships," said NTTC Lackland Commanding Officer, Cmdr. Jeffrey Martin. "The opportunity to share our training and experiences in the master-at-arms knowledge skill set here at NTTC Lackland is an absolute honor. Spending time to review lessons learned and best practices for training benefits us all and makes operations for our nation's sea powers a reality."

While touring NTTC Lackland, Kwon visited the Master-at-Arms "A" School and observed "crimes and crisis" scenarios, M500 shotgun live-fire, and experienced the small arms training simulator firsthand. Kwon also visited the Military Working Dog (MWD) facility where he was able to see a student demonstrate the six phases of aggression with a patrol MWD.

The Center for Security Forces provides specialized training to more than 23,000 students each year. It has 14 training locations across the United States and around the world where training breeds confidence.
