Marines with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron

Marines with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron (HMLA) 369 and 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, conduct fast-rope training aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Oct. 3. Fast roping was part of a larger event called a Marine Air-Ground Task Force integration exercise, which enabled air and ground units to come together and cooperate in various training missions prior to their deployment with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit.
