Marine Corps Sgt. Hunter Pratt, a Helicopter Rope Suspension Technique (HRST) master instructor with III Expeditionary Operations Training Group (EOTG), supervises Marines prior to fast roping from a UH-1Y Venom helicopter during a Fast Rope Masters Course (FRMC) at Landing Zone Sterling, Okinawa, Japan, July 27, 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.
