An aircrew aboard a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter, from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., prepares to take the load of a 14,000 pound buoy that washed ashore just south of the entrance to Tillamook Bay, in Garibaldi, Ore., Dec. 12, 2016.

The buoy was transported up the Oregon Coast to Tongue Point in Astoria, Ore., where the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Fir pulled it out of the water.
