    Lance Cpl. Erin McNew, a landing support specialist with 2nd Combat Logistics Regiment, Task Force 2-8, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, hooks on a cargo net while Lance Cpl. Casey Caldwell, a landing support specialist, grounds out the static electricity generated from the rotors of the CH-47 Chinook, with the 1st Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, 1st Armored Division, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, while training at the Dona Anna training area on Fort Bliss, Texas, April, 7, 2014. The helicopter’s rotors can generate up to 200,000 volts of static electricity and could shock the specialist while they are hooking the cargo onto the aircraft. With a metal rod grounded near the cargo, a landing support specialist working as the static man grounds out the electricity to negate the hook man from being shocked.
