    A humanitarian aid delivery operation is underway at an open field, with a twin-rotor CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter (marked 'YX' and partially visible number '4640') on the ground. Military personnel in camouflage uniforms form a supply chain unloading boxes from the helicopter, while a civilian man carries a World Food Programme (WFP) 'High Energy Biscuits' box in the foreground. Large crowds of onlookers are visible in the background along the perimeter of the field.

    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.
