Marines with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa pull back a rope used during the unit’s fast-rope insertion training at Morón Air Base, Spain, Jan. 27, 2015. The Marines fought to maintain control over the rope under the Osprey’s hurricane-like winds to ensure the aircraft and repelling personnel could rapidly and safely complete their insertion procedures.
