Soldiers from the Massachusetts Army National Guard's 3rd Brigade, 126th Aviation Regiment and Training Support Center, Camp Edwards conducted fast roping training with agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's tactical units at Cape Cod, Massachusetts in March 2012.
Fast roping occurs when personnel enter an area by sliding down a rope from a hovering helicopter. The Guard has the trained personnel, as well as, both the rappelling, a fundamental part of fast roping, and the aviation assets needed to provide the training.
