INDIAN OCEAN (July 24, 2015) U.S. Marines with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Maritime Raid Force fast-rope out of an MH-60S Sea Hawk, from the “Blackjacks” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 21, onto the amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2). These Marines are assigned to India Company, Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 15th MEU, and are members of the MRF’s security element. The Marines practiced fast-roping onto the flight deck and simulated clearing the ship. Elements of the 15th MEU, based out of Camp Pendleton, California, and embarked aboard the Essex, are conducting naval operations in the 6th Fleet areas of operation in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe and Africa.
