Members of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 11, Platoon 0-2, go through equipment checks prior to the start of a fast-roping exercise on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. The exercise was used for training purposes by both the EOD team and "Black Knights" of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 4, who provided an SH-60F Seahawk for the team to use. Ronald Reagan is currently underway on a routine deployment to the Western Pacific.
