A Zodiac, rigid-hulled inflatable boat, filled with six members of a U.S. Army special forces unit, out of Army Base Fort Carson, Colo., transits away from the Coast Guard Cutter Fir, a 225-foot Sea-going Buoy Tender, after the cutter's crew lowered the Zodiac into the Pacific Ocean near Warrenton, Ore., during a joint-agency operation, June 22, 2016.
The special forces unit was beginning the culminating operation of a 3-week long exercise that ends at Camp Rilea in Warrenton.
