    U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Kevin Trammell, Marine Tilt Rotor Squadron 266-Reinforced (VMM-266-REIN), 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit fuels NCO in charge, watches from the fuel pit as a CH-53 Super Stallion refuels Oct. 23 on the flightline at Pano Aqil Cantonment, Pakistan. Since U.S. helicopter relief operations began Aug. 5, more than 12 million pounds of food have been transported to isolated areas in need of assistance after flooding left approximately 1/5 of the county under water at its height. Contributing to that were the fuelers, ensuring helicopters were fueled and ready for flight. From their arrival Oct. 4 to Oct. 23, the 26th MEU fuelers provided nearly 96,000 gallons of fuel.
