UNITAS 2023: Fast Rope
U.S. Marines with Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Reserve in support of Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force UNITAS LXIV, and members of partner nations fast-rope down a UH-1Y Venom helicopter with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 775 (HMLA 775), 4th Marine Air Wing, as part of the Fast Rope Course at Escuela de Formación de Infantería Marina Coveñas in Coveñas, Colombia, July 15, 2023. Fast roping is a way for Marines to enter a high risk area quickly without having to land the helicopter. UNITAS focuses on strengthening existing regional partnerships and encouraging the establishment of new relationships through the exchange of maritime mission-focused knowledge and expertise.
