GULF OF ADEN (Dec. 15, 2016) U.S. Marines with the Maritime Raid Force (MRF), 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), fast rope from a UH-1Y Huey helicopter onto a vessel during lowlight ship boarding rehearsals as part of Exercise Alligator Dagger, Dec. 15. Fast roping, also known as helicopter rope suspension techniques, is another method used by the MRF to quickly gain access to a vessel. The unilateral exercise provides an opportunity for the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group and 11th MEU to train in amphibious operations within the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations. The 11th MEU is currently supporting U.S. 5th Fleet’s mission to promote and maintain stability and security in the region. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Gunnery Sgt. Robert B. Brown Jr.)
