These Marines and Airmen participated in a combat search and rescue training exercise in which a simulated downed aircrew contacted a U-2 Dragon Lady via survival radio, prompting two Marine MV-22B Ospreys to recover the pilots. The exercise is designed to enhance joint force readiness and interoperability during casualty evacuation operations. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Chelsea Arana)
