Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262
Summary
Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262 (Reinforced) conduct preflight inspections on a UH-1Y Huey helicopter before fast rope training at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Jan. 8, 2019. Fast roping allows Marines to quickly enter otherwise inaccessible locations from hovering aircraft. VMM-262 (Rein.) is the Aviation Combat Element for the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific Region.
