    Two military personnel in flight suits and helmets with communication headsets are loading or unloading boxes inside a military cargo helicopter. The boxes are labeled as 'High Energy Biscuits' from the World Food Programme (WFP), marked 'Keep in Dry Place' and 'Gift of USA'. This appears to be a humanitarian aid delivery mission conducted via military aircraft.

    Cpl.Christopher Soper, crew chief from Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 166, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, loads food rations in a CH-46E Sea Knight en route to deliver food to the Bangladeshi people. The USS Tarawa and the embarked 11th MEU are conducting humanitarian assistance/disaster relief efforts in response to the government of Bangladesh's request for assistance after tropical cyclone Sidr struck their southern coast, Nov. 15. The storm killed over 3,000 people and has left several hundred thousand homeless. The Department of Defense effort is part of a larger United States response coordinated by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development. (Marine photo/Sgt. Bryson K.
