Barrett briefed the Marines on updates concerning a course of action for disaster relief in the tri-state area due to Hurricane Sandy, and gave them motivational words of inspiration.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.
