Brief update on Navy and Marine relief efforts in Haiti Jan 23
A Navy Landing Craft Air Cushioned from Assault Craft Unit 4, amphibious assault ship USS Bataan, boards the ship Jan. 22, to load up with vehicles and supplies from the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit to be used in the Operation Unified Response relief effort in Haiti. The landing craft allows 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit Marines to deliver heavy equipment and supplies faster and more efficiently than alternative landing craft. Cpl. Bobbie A. Curtis
