U.S. Marines unload a UH-1Y Huey from an Air Force C-17 at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, May 7. Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 469 traveled to Nepal from Clark Air Base, Philippines, May 3, and received their third and final UH-1Y Huey four days later. The Nepalese government requested assistance from U.S. Agency for International Development after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck their country, April 25. In response, the U.S. military sent Marines, Airmen, Soldiers and Sailors as part of Joint Task Force 505 at the direction of USAID. The Hueys will assist JTF 505 and the Nepalese government to transport food, water, and shelter supplies to the Nepalese people in the rural areas of Nepal. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
