Members of a medical team from Tripler Army Medical Center, Hawaii, sit crammed in among food, bottled water and medical supplies in a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter during a flight to Patuakhali, Bangladesh, on Nov. 26, 2007. The amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) and embarked 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) are conducting humanitarian assistance/disaster relief efforts in response to Bangladesh's request for assistance after Tropical Cyclone Sidr struck their coast on Nov. 15, 2007. The storm killed over 3,000 people and has left several hundred thousand homeless. The Department of Defense effort is part of a larger United States response coordinated by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development.
