Marines of the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion practice their repelling
from a UH-1 Huey helicopter at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat
Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif., during Combined Arms Exercise 5-97,
on May 5, 1997. The Marine Air Ground Task Force exercise is
allowing these Marines to practice their desert warfare. Repelling from
a helicopter allows the Marines to be inserted into a hostile
environment in the least amount of time. DoD photo by Lance Cpl.
