AT SEA, Indian Ocean (Nov. 28, 2016) A Marine with the Maritime Raid Force, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, jumps out of a CH-53E Super Stallion during helocast training conducted near the USS Makin Island (LHD 8) while afloat in the Indian Ocean. Helocasting allows an amphibious force to use an aircraft to travel long distances and then insert into a body of water where the unit can continue to an objective, often times using Combat Rubber Raiding Crafts.
