Marines stand by to board a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter assigned to the Golden Eagles of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 162 (MMV-162), to go ashore and lend a helping hand, aboard the amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland (LSD 48) as she steams near the Haitian coast. Ashland is deployed as part of the Nassau Amphibious Ready Group/24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (NAS ARG/24MEU) in support of Operation Unified Response, the humanitarian aid/disaster relief mission in Haiti. The NAS ARG/24 MEU is comprised of embarked Marines from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, the multi-purpose amphibious assault ship USS Nassau (LHA 4), the amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland (LSD 48), and the amphibious transport dock ship USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19).
