150528-N-QM905-029 GULF OF ADEN (May 27, 2015) - A CH-53E Super Stallion from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 365 (Reinforced) passes over a rigid hull inflatable boat filled with Sailors and Marines assigned to the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) and the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, respectively, after dropping off Marines in a combat rubber raiding craft during a special patrol insertion and extraction rigging training exercise. Iwo Jima is the flagship for the Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and, with the embarked 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), provides a versatile, sea-based expeditionary force that can be tailored to a variety of missions in the U. S. 5th Fleet area of operations. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class (SW) Shelby M. Tucker/ Released)
