U.S. Marines with 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, load a combat rubber raiding craft into a HE-53 Super Stallion helicopter during hard-cast training in Kin Blue, Okinawa, Japan, on Feb. 27, 2019. During hard-cast training, Marines will jump from a low altitude helicopter into the water, then climb aboard an inflatable motorized craft that was deployed from the aircraft. The Marines were training in order to maintain the knowledge and skills needed to conduct a successful amphibious insertion mission. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Timothy Hernandez)
