A Marine with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit fast-ropes from a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter during training aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1), underway in the South China Sea, Sept. 25, 2018. Fast roping allows Marines to quickly enter otherwise inaccessible locations from above. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide-range of military operations in the Indo-Pacific region.
