Lt. Cmdr. Lu Le, a Navy surgical doctor attached to 11 Marine Expeditionary Unit embarked on USS Tarawa (LHA 1), uses a stethoscope to examine a Bangladeshi fisherman at a medical station set up on this small island. Tarawa and embarked 11th MEU are conducting humanitarian assistance/disaster relief efforts in response to the government of Bangladesh's request for assistance after tropical cyclone Sidr struck their southern coast, Nov. 15. The storm killed over 3,000 people and has left several hundred thousand homeless. The Department of Defense effort is part of a larger United States response coordinated by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for international Development.
