October 16, 2008 -- GULFPORT, Miss. -- U.S. Navy Diver 3rd Class Matthew Wilson carries a target frame off of the pistol range during a transition from the Navy Handgun Qualification Course to the Practical Weapons Course, a firing sequence which utilizes obstacles as part f the course of fire. Wilson is participating in the handgun marksmanship part of the Expeditionary Combat Skills School (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)
