Marines with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, run to their position during a fast roping exercise on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Oct. 27, 2016. Fast roping is one of several exercises Marines conduct as part of realistic urban training or RUT, to prepare for an upcoming deployment. Part of their pre-deployment package, RUT provides Marines will strengthen versatility and flexibility, making us capable of operating in the most challenging environments.
