A French airborne marine escapes from the helicopter egress trainer at the pool here Tuesday during the joint U.S.-French training exercise “Americal." “The kind of training we’re doing with the French is peculiar,” Staff Sgt. Stephan Kaphart, platoon commander, Fox Company, 2/3, said. “The kind of training like the obstacle course and helo dunker is the same in France, but ours is more difficult.”
