    A humanitarian aid distribution operation is underway at an open field, with a helicopter in the background being used to deliver supplies. Military personnel in camouflage uniforms are coordinating the distribution, while a civilian man in a blue shirt and lungi carries a cardboard box labeled with what appears to be a UN/WFP logo. A large crowd of civilians is visible in the background waiting to receive aid.

    Citizens of Bawfal, Bangladesh offload food rations from a Marine CH-46E Sea Knight from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. 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.
