The aircrew of a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook with Joint Task Force - Leeward Islands prepares the helicopter for departure from Aimé Césaire International Airport in Fort-de-France, Martinique, Sept. 27, 2017. The service members of JTF-LI are supporting the voluntary evacuation of U.S. citizens from Dominica and the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the island in the wake of Hurricane Maria. At the request of partner nations and both the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development, JTF-LI has deployed aircraft and service members to areas in the eastern Caribbean Sea affected by hurricanes Irma and Maria. The task force is a U.S. military unit composed of Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen, and represents U.S. Southern Command’s primary response to both disasters. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
