181121-N-NT747-1115 TURBO, Colombia (Nov. 21, 2018) – Juan Sebastian, a Colombian boy and former patient, celebrates his 10th birthday aboard the hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) with a front row seat to a vertical replenishment conducted by an MH-60S Seahawk, assigned to the “Sea Knights” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 22. Three days prior, Sebastian presented a cardboard model of Comfort to the ship and its crew. Comfort is on an 11-week medical support mission to Central and South America as part of U.S. Southern Command’s Enduring Promise initiative. Working with health and government partners in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and Honduras, the embarked medical team will provide care on board and at land-based medical sites, helping to relieve pressure on national medical systems caused partly by an increase in cross-border migrants. The deployment reflects the United States’ enduring promise of friendship, partnership and solidarity with the Americas.
