Military Sealift Command (MSC) dedicated the Ron Law Marksmanship Training Center at its Training Center Hampton Roads on  23 January. The facility at Fort Eustis, Virginia, will provide small arms training for MSC Civil Service Mariners (CIVMARs).

Rear Adm. Philip Sobeck highlighted the center’s role in improving readiness and safety for CIVMARs, who operate U.S. Navy USNS ships. The facility consolidates East Coast small arms training, enabling more mariners to qualify annually.

The center honors Ron Law, a 30-year MSC veteran and former Small Arms Instructor. Law trained over 25,000 students during his career and was known for his dedication and ability to connect with students.

Sobeck emphasized that the center will continue Law’s legacy of professionalism, readiness, and excellence. All newly hired CIVMARs must complete MSC’s eight-week Basic Training, including small arms qualification, before deploying.
