    A white civilian helicopter with registration number N814AR is hovering over a ship deck loaded with netted cargo pallets, apparently engaged in a vertical replenishment or cargo transfer operation over open ocean. The helicopter appears to be a Sikorsky S-61 or similar large utility helicopter, identifiable by its twin-engine configuration and distinctive fuselage shape. The operation is taking place in overcast conditions over what appears to be a gray, calm sea.

Marines and Sailors with the 22nd MEU and Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group are currently deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.
