Marines from Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 465 give hand-signals to a crane operator while they reattach one of the main rotor blades of a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter.  The rotor blades were just a few of many parts that were removed from the helicopter in order to transport it via cargo plane to Iraq.  The squadron is part of Marine Aircraft Group 16, which is in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
