Marines with 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, Weapons Company, Scout Sniper Platoon, prevent a rope from flailing in the rotor wash of an MV-22B Osprey with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 164 during fast-rope training aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., June 30. The ability to fast rope enables Marines to insert into an area or structure without landing the aircraft, eliminating the need for a landing zone. Sgt. Lillian Stephens
