U.S. Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 24, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, prepare to connect a grounding hook to a U.S. Army CH-47F Chinook, assigned to the California Army National Guard, during helicopter support team operations as part of Mountain Training Exercise 1-26 at Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, California, Jan. 24, 2026. CLB-24 conducted the HST operations to prepare their Marines to manage lift operations by facilitating the pickup, movement, and landing of helicopter-borne troops, equipment, and supplies. Exercises like MTX 1-26 prove Marines’ ability to provide flexible and responsive combat service support during high intensity combat operations in contested and mountainous terrain.
