October 29, 2008 -- GULFPORT, Miss. -- Expeditionary Combat Skills School (ECS) Instructors interrogate U.S. Navy Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Danielle Panting about her conduct while shooting with the FATS trainer, a video-based system designed to teach quick action under combat pressure as part of the last phase of ECS. The ECS school is designed to build a basic level of battlefield competence for sailors from the Navy's newly formed Expeditionary Combat Combat Command (NECC) community. The students have a wide range of precision modern warfare skills. Because the Navy is supporting missions ashore more than ever, there is a significant need for sailors to gain land-based combat skills. The aim of the school is to provide NECC sailors basic warfighting and survival capabilities. Photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Roger S. Duncan. (RELEASED)
