    U.S. Marine Sgt. Matthew Jensen, left, secures U.S. Marine Sgt. Anthony Palmer to a rope before conducting 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, and builds confidence in maneuvering from aircraft to ground. Jensen, a native of Baltimore, Maryland, is a reconnaissance Marine with 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion and Palmer, a native of Orlando, Florida, is a fire support Marine with 5th Air Gun Liaison Company.
