The training was conducted to enhance the Marines abilities to conduct fast-rope operations, which is a skill they could use during operations taking place throughout the MEU’s Western Pacific 16-2 deployment to the Pacific and Central Commands’ areas of operation. The 11th MEU, part of the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility in support security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
