A Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, prepares to land at Robertson Barracks, Palmerston, Northern Territory, Australia, Aug. 7. The CH-53E picked up Marines with Company C, 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, MRF-D, and soldiers with Delta Company, 5th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment, 1st Brigade, Australian Army, to conduct helicopter raid training at the Kangaroo Flats Training Area, NT, Australia. The purpose of the bilateral training was to familiarize both units with conducting a platoon-level assault on a simulated enemy encampment and secure intelligence. The rotational deployment in Darwin enables Marines to more effectively train, exercise and operate with their partners, enhancing regional security and building a capacity to respond more rapidly to natural disasters and crises throughout that region.
