U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Adam Morrison, and Sgt. Adam Martinez, Expeditionary Operations Training Group instructors, demonstrate how to anchor a rappel rope using a football knot and a boulder to fellow Marines during Angel Thunder 2015 high angle rescue training at Mount Lemmon, Ariz., June 1, 2015. During the training, U.S. Marines and U.S. Airmen practiced tying knots, anchoring ropes, rappelling down a cliffside unassisted, and returning to the initial elevation point. Angel Thunder is an Air Combat Command-sponsored personnel recovery exercise for combat air force, joint, allied and interagency participants. The Marines are assigned to Force Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, Calif. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Betty R. Chevalier/Released)
