U.S. Marines with III Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) rappel from an MV-22B Osprey assigned to
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265 during a Helicopter Rope Suspension Techniques
(HRST) Master Course at Landing Zone Sterling, Okinawa, Japan, Sept. 9, 2022. Rappelling allows
Marines to enter landing zones that are too dangerous for helicopters to safely land. Fast rope and
helicopter rope suspension training teach Marines proper knots, rappelling techniques, and build
confidence for maneuvering from air to ground. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Pfc. Justin J. Marty)
