    Oscar Gomez, a volunteer with the Office of Refugee Resettlement, teaches Afghan individuals English words for common facial expressions on Fort Pickett, Virginia, Oct. 22, 2021. The activity was part of an English class offered to guests, one of a variety of classes offered while they move through the process of starting a new life in the U.S. The Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command, and in support of the Department of Homeland Security, is providing transportation, temporary housing, medical screening, and general support for at least 50,000 Afghan evacuees at suitable facilities, in permanent or temporary structures, as quickly as possible. This initiative provides Afghan personnel essential support at secure locations outside Afghanistan. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Corey Mathews)
