A Marine with Battalion Landing Team, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment (BLT 2/6), 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) descends from an MV-22B Osprey during fast-rope training as part of Combined Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), in the Atlantic Ocean, Nov. 26, 2017. The exercise allows all elements of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) to join and train in realistic scenarios so the MEU as a whole can meet its Pre-Deployment Training Program objectives prior to their upcoming deployment at sea.
