View Online Joint Training Refines Humanitarian Aid, Disaster Relief Capabilities Aug. 4, 2025 | By Defense.gov Marines, soldiers, sailors and U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel recently performed training to refine humanitarian assistance and disaster relief capabilities at Coast Guard Station Key West, Florida. The training included Marines assigned to the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and 2nd Distribution Support Battalion and soldiers assigned to the Army Special Warfare Training Group (Airborne), along with Navy elements. It involved external lifts of rigid-hull inflatable boats by a CH-53K King Stallion assigned to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 461 and helocasting, a technique during which troops jump from a low-flying helicopter into a body of water. The exercises also enhanced the CH-53K King Stallion crew's ability to support distributed aviation operations in a joint environment.
