Parachutes are set and ready for use by U.S. Marines during Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course 2-17 on Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Ariz., March 30, 2017. The parachutes are used as reserves in case the primary parachutes malfunction during static line parachuting. Static line parachute training is used to develop Marines’ efficiency with the equipment. The Marines were with Landing Support Company, 1st Transportation Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group and Landing Support Company, 2nd TSB, 2nd MLG. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
