    U.S. Marines standby to belay March 19 during the second day of the three-day Mountain Warfare Training Course at the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Pohang, Republic of Korea. Belaying refers to a variety of techniques used to exert friction on a rappelling rope so if a climber slips they do not fall very far. The U.S. Marines going through the course are with various units under III Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group and are in the Republic of Korea to take part in Marine Expeditionary Force Exercise 2014. MEFEX 14 exercises the interoperability and combined capabilities of the ROK and U.S. Marine Corps. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Cedric R. Haller II/RELEASED)
