An MH-60S Seahawk sits on the flight deck of the USS Wasp (LHD 1) during a resupply at sea (RAS), Nov. 4, 2012, to replenish the food and supplies aboard the ship. The USS Wasp and the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit are currently off the coast of New York in support of Hurricane Sandy disaster relief efforts in New York and New Jersey. The 26th MEU is able to provide generators, fuel, clean water, and helicopter lift capabilities to aid in disaster relief efforts. The 26th MEU was currently conducting pre-deployment training, preparing for their departure in 2013. As an expeditionary 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.
