Combat Cargo Marines from the Logistics Combat Element of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit stand by while a CH-53 Super Stallion with VMM-365 attached to the 24th MEU prepares to take off from USS Mesa Verde (LPD-19), after refueling to conduct surveys of potential beach landing sites and airfields for upcoming humanitarian and disaster relief operations to assist the Republic of Haiti following Hurricane Matthew, a Category IV storm that passed through the area causing flooding, destroying vital infrastructure within the country and displacing Haitian local nationals. These aircraft provide unique heavy lifting and transport capabilities to the 24th MEU, allowing rapid transference of supplies and material from sea to shore.
