Cpl. Cody Kramer, 22, Austin, Nev., Lance Cpl. Cody DeLuz, 21, Hampton, Va., Lance Cpl. John Thorton, 20, Inola, Ok., and Lance Cpl. Jeremy Brooks, 20, Lacon, Ill., all landing support specialists with Landing Support Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 17, 1st Marine Logistics Group, attach the cargo load to the helicopter during the Helicopter Support Team training exercise here May 7. The purpose of the exercise is to allow Marines to practice attaching loads to helicopters at night. The need for helicopter support teams has been low because Iraq has mostly flat terrain, but the mountains in Afghanistan may increase the demand. The rehearsals are crucial to maintain the timely manner in which Marines attach the gear to these helicopters.
