Today we went on a live rehearsal for Air Interdiction. Because it was practice, we didn't have all the aircraft we needed, and in addition there was an all Marine Team that went out and practiced at the same time as us utilizing the same helicopters, so things didn't go exactly as planned, but they still went well. After about 3 runs, we returned to base with many lessons learned. See pictures below.
