Take Comfort People of Haiti, the US Navy and Marines are on the way!

Once again the United State Navy and Marine Corps are called upon to assist in helping the distressed people of the world. 

This time, not to oust a tyrant or occupying force, but to lend aid and comfort to a hurting people. 

Much to the chagrin of organizations like Code Pink, often times the best equipped and trained force for good is indeed the United States Military!  As of today, the United States is deploying thousands of Sailors and Marines and their extremely valuable logistics equipment.

A quick snapshot of the forces being deployed include:

 

• USS Carl Vinson (deploying with over 19 helos – HS-7 & HS-15)
• USS Bataan
• USS Fort McHenry
• USS Carter Hill
• USS Underwood
• USS Normandy
• USS Higgins
• The USNS Comfort

On top of this, C-2A Greyhounds from the Rawhides of Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VRC) 40 are on the job delivering all manner of supplies and rations.

I would be remiss in not mentioning our brothers from the 82nd Airborne Division, our cousins in the Coast Guard, and our friends at the 27SOW deploying their MC-130W Combat Spear assets.

It is tragic that this response is even necessary, but it is reassuring to know we are ready and able! 

Good luck all, and bless you in your efforts!  You and the people of Haiti will be in our thoughts and prayers!
