Marines from 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit remain suspended from a CH-53 Super Stallion helicopter from Marine Medium Tilt Rotor Squadron 162 (Reinforced) during a Special Purpose Insertion and Extraction exercise in Djibouti, March 24. Various non-infantry Marines received the opportunity to participate in the SPIE exercise for their first time. The 24th MEU Marines performed a series of sustainment and joint exercises alongside the French and Djiboutian military throughout their visit in Djibouti. The 24th MEU is currently on a seven month deployment aboard Nassau Amphibious Ready Group vessels as the theatre reserve force for Central Command.
