A Marine with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit fast
Summary
A Marine with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit fast ropes from the exit ramp of an MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft aboard the USS Wasp (LHD-1) while underway in the Pacific Ocean, March 31, 2018. Fast roping allows Marines to enter otherwise inaccessible locations via rope from above. The 31st MEU partners with the Navy’s Amphibious Squadron 11 to form the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, a cohesive blue-green team capable of accomplishing a variety of missions across the Indo-Pacific.
