AT SEA, Indian Ocean (Nov. 28, 2016) A Marine with the Maritime Raid Force climbs a caving ladder attached to an MH-60 Sea Hawk during a helocast training evolution near the USS Makin Island (LHD 8) afloat in the Indian Ocean. The training consisted of Marines jumping out of CH-53 Super Stallions with a Combat Rubber Raiding Craft, which simulated the MRF team traveling a long distance before being dropped in the ocean to continue their mission using a CRRC. The Marines are with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit.
