Honduran soldiers sit in the back of a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook Dec. 16, 2015, prior to transiting to a remote area in the Gracias a Dios Department (state) of Honduras. The troops are a part of more than 4,900 Honduran troops the U.S. has helped to access hard to reach locations in the department since October 2014, where disrupting drug trafficking has been a primary focus for the Honduran government.
