American and French Sailors Team Up to Train

Posted 11/4/2007

Members from Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa explosive ordnance disposal technicians train with French naval special forces practice a scenario using a Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron Ch-53E to rope into a possible hostile situation. As members slide down heights ranging from 30 to 50 feet, troops set up a defensive posture to protect the remaining members who descend from the helicopter on the flightline of a French camp in Djibouti.
