ROCKHAMPTON, Australia: Sand and walls of hot exhaust slammed into us as a helicopter deftly lowered itself into a grassy clearing some distance away. The helicopter's ramp lowered and men in green filed out with their weapons and gear, promptly dropping to the ground prone in anticipation of an enemy ambush.
