From evacuating casualties, to VERTREPing 100+ pallets, to landing on ships from foreign navies. Det 7 and the RIMPAC Blackjacks are doing it all!

And we’re just getting started…

Today, Blackjacks from the HSC-21 Fire Scout shop executed the first ground turn of our new MQ-8C.

These ground turns are the first step to qualifying new GMVOs, an essential part of deploying ready Dets for our future LCS deployments.
