Soldiers from 3rd Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team based out of Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, also known as "Comanche Troop," jump out the back of an Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter while conducting helocast operations at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, Sept. 23, 2015. The unit 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)
