An Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter hovers over the water allowing soldiers from 3rd Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team based out of Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, to exit the aircraft and swim to the shores of Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, Sept. 23, 2015. The unit, also known as “Comanche Troop,” was refining their waterborne insertion tactics and re-qualifying their cast masters for future deployments and reconnaissance missions. For most helocast insertions, the aircraft assumes an altitude just above the water’s surface, with airspeed of 10 knots or less. Team members then exit the aircraft and enter the water. The unit certified three new cast masters, re-certified four cast masters and trained six reconnaissance teams. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Brittney Vito)
