181014-M-MA011-142 EAST CHINA SEA (Oct. 14, 2018) Marines assigned to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) Amphibious Reconnaissance Platoon ride aboard combat rubber raiding craft toward a U.S. Navy MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter during Helocast and special patrol insertion/extraction (SPIE) training in the East China Sea, Oct. 14, 2018. The Seahawk belongs to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25. Helocasting and SPIE operations allow the recon Marines to enter and exit tactical landing zones that are inaccessible to helicopters during amphibious operations. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide-range of military operations in the Indo-Pacific region.
