Watch as these U.S. Marines in the Infantry Basic Officer Course explain the Osprey’s capabilities for embassy rescue missions. These students completed an 1,100 mile-long exercise (from Twentynine Palms, California, to Fort Hood, Texas) via MV-22 Ospreys to secure a mock embassy and rescue key personnel. This sounds like an awesome training exercise and learning experience for the young second lieutenants.
