Marines with Lima Co., 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, guide a role player acting as a downed pilot to an MV-22B Osprey during a tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel exercise aboard Marine Corps Outlying Landing Field Atlantic, N.C., June 19, 2015. Due to the short notice nature of TRAP missions, the Marines stood by during the week to receive the mission, showing them the importance of maintaining readiness. The TRAP exercise was part of Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa’s certification exercise, the final step in their pre-deployment training.
