A CH-53E Super Stallion lifts a cement block during a helicopter support team training exercise, Northern Training Area, Okinawa, Japan, Oct. 11, 2019. Helicopter Support Teams hook up external loads to helicopters for transportation in areas not suitable for vehicles, making them useful for resupply missions to maneuver forces on the ground. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
