Marines and soldiers were directly exposed to the OC spray, then instructed to complete a course with stations which required them to execute different take down techniques on a simulated enemy combatant. The Black Sea Area Support team’s mission is to provide base operations support to US Forces in the BSAST Theater of Operations (including Romania and Bulgaria). This includes, but is not limited to, providing life support, logistics support, base camp operations to US forces in the Area of Responsibility (AOR), reception, staging, and onward movement of US forces, fiscal management and budgetary activities, and coordination of force protection of US military and government civilians in the AOR.
