Michael Jansen, right, director of operations, both with the 33rd Rescue Generation Squadron, watch two U.S. Air Force HH-60W Jolly Green IIs assigned to the 33rd RQS taxi and take off at Clark Air Base, Philippines, Nov. 17, 2025, in support of foreign disaster relief operations in the Catanduanes region. At the request of the Government of the Philippines, the U.S. military is working alongside the Armed Forces of the Philippines to provide foreign disaster relief support to communities affected by Typhoons Kalmaegi (Tino) and Fung-Wong (Uwan), which caused extensive damage and tragic loss of life. The forward presence and ready posture of United States Indo-Pacific Command in the region facilitates rapid and effective response to crisis, demonstrating the U.S.’s commitment to allies and partners during times of need. The 33rd RQS provided standby emergency medical evacuation support for U.S. servicemembers delivering aid across the country. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Micaiah Anthony)
