Marines with Marine Wing Support Squadron (MWSS) 171 fast rope out of an MV-22B Osprey assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265 during a Fast Rope Masters Course (FRMC) at Landing Zone Sterling, Okinawa, Japan, July 26, 2022. Fast roping allows Marines to enter landing zones that are too dangerous for helicopters to safely land. Fast Rope and Helicopter Rope Suspension Training teaches Marines proper knots and rappelling techniques, and builds confidence for maneuvering from air to ground.
