Marines with Fox Company, Battalion Landing Team, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines climb the stairs of the rappel tower during fast rope training at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 23, 2017. Each Marine descends multiple times, each time adding more gear increasing the technical and tactical challenge of the training. BLT 2/5, from Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, is the Ground Combat Element for the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. As the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward deployed unit, the 31st MEU's air-ground-logistics team provides a flexible force, ready to perform a wide range of military operations, from limited combat to humanitarian assistance operations, throughout the Indo-Asia- Pacific region.
