    U.S. Marines with subordinate commands under III Marine Expeditionary Force, hang suspended on a rope from a UH-1Y Venom during Special Patrol Insertion and Extraction and Helicopter Rope Suspension Technique training on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Dec. 18, 2018. SPIE rigging, fast roping, and rappelling allow Marines to enter and exit landing zones that are too dangerous for helicopters to safely land on. SPIE and HRST training teach Marines proper knots and rappelling techniques, as well as building confidence in maneuvering from air to ground. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Kenny Nunez)
