Photographed by U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Lt. Cmdr. Gary Brunette, this image depicted an aerial view of the aircraft carrier, USS Bataan, during Caribbean Operation Unified Response (OUR). Cmdr. Brunette and his fellow USPHS corpsmen were in the process of being transported to the carrier aboard a helicopter from the Nimitz class supercarrier, USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70). The USS Bataan and her crew set out in January 2010, to provide disaster relief support to Operation Unified Response (OUR), after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake devastated the island nation. Bataan’s Navy/Marine Corps Team, established nine landing zones to facilitate aid distribution, ultimately moving more than 1,000 pallets of relief supplies ashore and treating close to 1,000 Haitians both aboard Bataan in the ship’s medical facility, and working side-by-side local and volunteer physicians at clinics throughout Haiti.
