Camp Lemonnier, DJIBOUTI (Feb. 7, 2017) Marine Staff Sgt. Christopher Harper, an operations chief with the Maritime Raid Force (MRF), 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, jumps from a UH-60 Blackhawk during a free-fall training exercise conducted near Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Feb. 7. The high-altitude, high-opening parachute insertion method allows the MRF to covertly insert themselves onto the battlefield to conduct reconnaissance, acting as the eyes and ears of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force commander.
