Photographed by U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Lt. Cmdr. Gary Brunette, this image depicts two USPHS officers, as they were inspecting the damage in a Haitian town, shortly after the country’s devastating earthquake in January 2010, after having been transported to the region by the Navy’s Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, the USS Bataan. The USS Bataan was underway early January 2010, in order to provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief support to Operation Unified Response (OUR) in Haiti, after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake crippled 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 with local and volunteer physicians at clinics throughout Haiti.
