    A military helicopter, appearing to be a CH-47 Chinook or similar tandem-rotor aircraft, hovers low over a paved surface at what appears to be a forward operating base or military installation in an arid environment. A soldier in full combat gear is rappelling or fast-roping down from the open rear ramp of the helicopter using a rope. The image is taken from a dramatic low-angle perspective, with military structures and desert terrain visible in the background.

    A Soldier with the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) slides down a rope from the back of a CH-47 Chinook helicopter during Fast Rope Insertion Extraction System (FRIES) training. Utilizing FRIES is an efficient way to quickly deploy Soldiers to an area where a helicopter many not easily be able to land. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
