UNITAS 2023: Fast Rope
A Colombian marine directs members of partner nations after fast-roping down a UH-1Y Venom helicopter with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 775 (HMLA 775), 4th Marine Air Wing, in support of Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force UNITAS LXIV, as part of the Fast Rope Course during UNITAS LXIV 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.
