AT SEA, Indian Ocean (November 28, 2016) Marines with the Maritime Raid Force, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, swim to a combat rubber raiding craft after jumping out of, or “helocasting”, from a CH-53E Super Stallion during a helocast training evolution near the USS Makin Island (LHD 8) while afloat in the Indian Ocean, Nov. 29, 2016. Helocasting, as it applies to a reconnaissance team, allows them to insert from an aircraft with combat rubber raiding craft and conduct further amphibious operations, such as reconnaissance and surveillance of a beachhead or vessel.
