    A military operation is underway in foggy, low-visibility coastal conditions. Three personnel in tactical gear are handling a black inflatable rubber raiding craft (CRRC) in shallow surf, while a tandem-rotor helicopter — consistent with a CH-47 Chinook — hovers nearby in the mist. The scene appears to be a maritime insertion or extraction exercise conducted at dawn or dusk.

    U.S. Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Green Berets enter the water while a CH-47 Chinook helicopter conducts hoisting operations during helocast training at Eglin Base Air Force Base, Fla., Feb. 6, 2013. The Green Berets were inserted into a maritime insertion point after deploying an inflatable zodiac boat to begin movement to a simulated objective. Helocasts are used to insert small units into a military area of operation by helicopter to carry out missions. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Steven K. Young/Released)
