Stallion helicopter to lift off from the amphibious assault ship USS
Wasp (LHD 1) on Jan. 17, 1998, during Joint Task Force Exercise
98-1. More than 30,000 U.S. military personnel are participating
in the exercise which is testing joint forces on their ability to
deploy rapidly and conduct joint operations during a crisis. All
branches of the armed forces are training side-by-side using the latest
advances in technology in a simulated high-threat environment that
involves air, naval and ground operations. DoD photo by Airman
