    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is parked on a tarmac while maintenance personnel perform work on it. Three personnel are visible on the ground near the fuselage, and at least one person is working on the right engine nacelle using an aluminum ladder. The aircraft appears to have its right engine cowling partially removed, indicating active maintenance operations.

    MV-22B Osprey crew chiefs and mechanics assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 266, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), perform maintenance on the left propeller of the aircraft 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.
