U.S. Marines with SPMAGTF-Crisis Response-Africa conduct fast rope training from an MV-22B Osprey on Morón Air Base, Spain, Nov. 20, 2014. The fast roping technique can be used for rapid insertion onto a location, such as a rooftop or ship's deck, from an aircraft, without having to land. SPMAGTF-CR-AF is a highly mobile crisis response force that conducts missions to protect U.S. personnel, property and interests in the U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility.
