Watch: US Marine Corps Helicopters and Crews Evacuate Virgin Island Patients

FighterSweep Staff No Comments Marine Corps, Military Aviation, News, Photos, Video

A UH-1Y Super-Huey takes off from the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) to transfer hospital patients from St. Thomas to St. Croix. Kearsarge and the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit are assisting with relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.

The Department of Defense is supporting the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the lead federal agency, in helping those affected by Hurricane Irma to minimize suffering and is one component of the overall whole-of-government response effort.
