Members of the U.S. Army 7th Special Forces (Green Berets) prepare to be lifted off the ground in special harnesses as they practice an extraction system designed to withdraw troops by helicopter, August 15, 1978. 

Record Group 330: Records of the Office of the Secretary of Defense

Series: Combined Military Service Digital Photographic Files

Image description: Two men in camouflage uniforms, with the sleeves rolled up. They are each wearing a harness similar to a parachute harness, and are gripping the chest strap of the other man’s harness. One man has a stoic look on his face, and the other is snarling.
