    26th Marine Expeditionary Unit     

    New York City is visible from the deck of USS Wasp, where Marines and sailors of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit embarked aboard, Nov. 1, 2012, to assist in disaster relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The 26th MEU is able to provide generators, fuel, clean water, and helicopter lift capabilities to aid in disaster relief efforts. The 26th MEU is currently in pre-deployment training, preparing for their departure in 2013. As an expeditionary crisis response force operating from the sea the MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force capable of conducting amphibious operations, crisis response, and limited contingency operations.
