During a Helicopter Support Team operation, a landing
Summary
During a Helicopter Support Team operation, a landing support Marine with Combat Logistics Battalion 5, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward) walks away from a container after attaching it to the Kaman K1200 unmanned aerial vehicle at Camp Dwyer, Afghanistan, June 3. The HSTs with the UAV are safer than piloted aircraft for Marines working underneath because the longer rope allows the UAV to hover from a higher distance.
