Recruits learn rappelling, a controlled slide down a rope that prepares Marines for deployment from helicopters, for navigating difficult terrain and for gaining access to buildings during raids. From the rappel tower, recruits learn the proper way to brake, regulate speed and land safely.  
 
Rappelling teaches recruits technique as well as confidence and courage in a supervised environment.
