patches Posted August 8, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2019 The Marines were really the first to use Helicopters in making troop movements don't you know, a concept they termed Vertical Envelopment. Here's a mid 50s photo from CB Colby's 1957 book LEATHERNECK that shows such training, I think these are of the 2nd Mar Div at Lejeune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
