    A military helicopter, appearing to be a Bell UH-1Y Venom in olive/gray livery, is landed on a grassy clearing in a mountainous, forested region. Two military personnel are visible — one standing near the helicopter's nose and another in the foreground wearing full flight gear and camouflage. The setting suggests a forward operating location or humanitarian/tactical mission in a mountainous terrain.

    Nepalese villagers in Bigu, Nepal receive relief supplies from a U.S. Marine UH-1Y Huey, May 8. U.S. Marines and Nepalese soldiers continue to deliver supplies to the rural areas of Nepal. The Nepalese government requested assistance from U.S. Agency for International Development after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck their country April 25. In response to the Nepal earthquake, the U.S. military sent Marines, Airmen, Soldiers and Sailors as part of Joint Task Force 505 at the direction of USAID. The U.S. Marine Corps continues to work hand-in-hand with the Nepalese government through USAID as part of Joint Task Force-505. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mandaline Hatch/Released)
