    Volunteer air traffic controllers and U.S. service members work inside the damaged Tacloban air traffic control tower to ensure the safety of the aircraft arriving and departing from Tacloban, Republic of the Philippines, Nov. 20 as part of Operation Damayan. Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines on Nov. 7 with wind gusts at speeds up to 230 mph. Due to their efforts, the control services were restored quickly and aircraft have transported over 1,000 tons of relief aid to the city. The Marine Corps has been training and developing friendships alongside the Philippine military for more than 20 years.
