STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. (Feb. 14, 2008) -- An Army Reserve CH-47D
helicopter assigned to the 159th Aviation Regiment in Fort Eustis, Va.,
lifts an 11-meter rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) as special warfare
combatant-craft crewmen use a ladder to board the aircraft during an
evolution of maritime external air transportation system along the
Pearl River. The aircraft is capable of lifting and transporting the
special operations craft long distances over land or water, saving time
and fuel. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class
