Staff Sgt. Matthew Francis instructs his students on proper knot tying techniques during the helicopter ropes suspension techniques course taught by Expeditionary Operations Training Group March 3, 2015, at Stone Bay, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C. The 10-day course teaches Marines to become subject-matter experts at controlling fast-rope or rappelling exercises. Units with HRST capabilities make it possible to insert or extract Marines from an area where landing an aircraft would be impossible. (Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Michelle Reif/released)
