The words "MARINES" and "VMM-266" are written on the fuselage of an MV-22B Osprey assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 266, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), used to transport Marines as they prepare to deploy aboard the USS Wasp (LHD-1) Nov. 1, 2012, in support of Hurricane Sandy disaster relief efforts in New York and New Jersey. The 26th MEU is capable of providing generators, fuel, clean water, and helicopter lift capabilities to aid in disaster relief efforts. The 26th MEU is currently in pre-deployment training, preparing for their departure in 2013. As an expeditionary crisis response force operating from the sea the MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force capable of conducting amphibious operations, crisis response, and limited contingency operations.
