Marines and sailors with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit deployed Thursday aboard the amphibious assault ship Wasp to support disaster relief efforts in New York and New Jersey, just days after Hurricane Sandy’s rushing flood waters ravaged the Mid-Atlantic coastline, according to the Marine Corps.
The MEU, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., has sent about 300 Marines, mostly aircrews and maintainers to support about a dozen aircraft, logistics personnel including engineers, and a command staff, including the colonel who commands the unit. The aircraft at the MEU’s disposal include MV-22 Ospreys, CH-53 Sea Stallions and UH-1N Hueys.
“The capabilities of the 26th MEU are augmenting the larger relief efforts currently being executed at the federal, state and local level,” said Col. Matthew St. Clair, commanding officer of the 26th MEU, in a news release. “This deployment demonstrates the responsiveness of a MEU in support of a crisis and the expeditionary nature of the Navy-Marine Corps team.”
