Marines exit a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter from Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, after being transported aboard ship July 5 from the Royal Australian Air force Base Darwin, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia to the USNS Sacagawea (T-AKE-2). Two CH-53Es conducted the ship-landing operation, carrying approximately 20 personnel and practicing ship landing and take-off. The Marines are able to operate from the combat operations center aboard the USNS Sacagawea in support of Talisman Sabre 2015, which is a major Australian and military training exercise focused on mid-intensity “high end” war fighting. The MRF-D six-month deployment demonstrates how the Marine Air Ground Task Force is equipped and organized to carry out national objectives in cooperation with our national and international partners.
