Fast-Rope Insertion Extraction System (FRIES) Master Staff Sgt. Kane Lawlor, 227th Air Support Operations Squadron, New Jersey Air National Guard, adjusts his night vision goggles before performing the night exercise portion of FRIES training from a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter with the 1-150th Assault Helicopter Battalion, New Jersey Army National Guard, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., April 21, 2015. The 227th were recertified on FRIES training by Soldiers from the Long Range Surveillance C Company, 1-158th Cavalry, Maryland Army National Guard. This was the first time the 1-150th Assault Helicopter Battalion has performed FRIES training with their own helicopters and equipment in New Jersey. FRIES is used when a fast exit from a rotary-wing aircraft into a restricted area, including water operations, is required. It provides a method for inserting and extracting special operations forces personnel when an aircraft cannot land. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Mark C. Olsen/Released)
