A Marine with the Maritime Raid Force, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, fast ropes out of a CH-46E Sea Knight helicopter during helicopter rope suspension techniques training here, March 6. The purpose of the fast rope insertion is to deploy Marines and Sailors in a situation where a helicopter cannot land. The 31st MEU maintains the fast rope capability for use in numerous contingencies from combat insertions to humanitarian operations. The 31st MEU is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU and is the Marine Corps’ force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region.
