HAGATNA, Guam (May 27, 2023) — Naval Aircrewman (Helicopter) Senior Chief Petty Officer Brendan Scotts, assigned to the “Island Knights” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 25, assists Governor of Guam, Lou Leon Guerro, with safety equipment prior to boarding one of the squadron’s MH-60S helicopters to conduct an aerial damage assessment of the island of Guam in the aftermath of Super Typhoon Mawar. A Combined Joint Task Force led by U.S. Army Pacific and Task Force West are the DoD representatives supporting FEMA and the governments of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands as we continue recovery efforts in the wake of Typhoon Mawar. Commander, Task Force West, Rear Adm. Benjamin Nicholson, and all military installation commanding officers in Guam are diligently working to restore steady state to the bases, and dedicate resources to all FEMA mission assignments. Typhoon Mawar moved through the area as a Category 4 storm on May 24, bringing hurricane-force winds, heavy rain and high seas marking the strongest storm to affect the island since Typhoon Pongsona in 2002.
