A U.S. Marine Helicopter Rope Suspension Training (HRST) Master with India Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force—Crisis Response—Central Command, prepares for the next group of Marines conducting fast rope training from an MV-22 Osprey while deployed to Southwest Asia Sept. 16, 2015. Fast roping allows Marines to insert ground forces quickly from the air, without the need for a stabilized landing zone. The Marines and Sailors of SPMAGTF-CR-CC provide the commander of USCENTCOM with a unique set of solutions to emergent crises across a broad swath of the Middle East. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Cpl.
