A CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter inserts a Bridge Erection Boat into the water in the Central Training Area, Okinawa, Japan, during Blue Chromite 2016, Nov. 2, 2015. This was the first time that Improved Ribbon Bridges, flat modular-floating platforms that bridge wet gaps, were inserted by air on Okinawa. Bridge Erection Boats are the watercraft used to move and correctly position the components of the bridge. Blue Chromite is a large-scale amphibious exercise that draws primarily from III Marine Expeditionary Force’s training resources on Okinawa. The location of the training allows participating units to maintain a forward-deployed posture and eliminates the cost of traveling to train. The Super Stallion is with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 462. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Drew Tech/Released)
