U.S. Marines and sailors from Black Sea Rotational Force 14 participated in Platinum Lynx 14.6 in the Carpathian Mountains from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 in Miercurea Ciuc, Romania. Knowledge and understanding of skills and tactics in mountain regions was shared between the Marines and Romanian Land Forces to help sustain readiness in any location. Service members trained with the 61st Mountain Troops Brigade from the Romanian Land Forces in rappelling, rock climbing, a live-fire range and survival skills. The exercise concluded with a 15-kilometer troop movement in high-elevation terrain. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Ryan Young/released)
