The list is far too long to account in full. Everywhere that people are suffering, the United States Military is there to help.
Ethiopia - Famine relief
Somalia - Famine Relief
Mexico - Earthquakes, mudslides, floods, volcanoes
Indonesia - Tsunami relief and rescue
Sri Lanka - Tsunami Relief and Rescue
Thailand - Tsunami Relief and Rescue
Pakistan and India - Earthquake recue and relief
These are just the big ones from the last few years but the list could go on forever. The US armed forces go in to help wherever people are in need. Hurricanes, Shipwrecks. Whatever the problem and whoever you are we don't care if you hated us yesterday, if you need a hand today, it is here.
There were people in Indonesia taking relief supplies from US Navy Helicopters wearing Osama Bin Laden T-Shirts.
• On March 5, a U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules cargo plane delivered another $30,000 of emergency relief supplies -– including water containers and pumps -– to flood-devastated eastern Bolivia, where 70,000 families have been affected by months of heavy rainfall. The United States has donated nearly $1 million in disaster assistance since Bolivia declared a national emergency.
• On February 26, U.S. military engineers in Assamo, Djibouti, a village near the Ethiopian border, surveyed a site for a new water well scheduled to be dug in April, part of an ongoing project to aid communities in the Horn of Africa region.
• For nine days in late February, a team of 20 Air Force medics provided health care for more than 6,500 people La Pita, El Sol and Santa Teresa, Nicaragua, while an Army veterinary team vaccinated more than 3,300 animals for farmers in 10 communities. Follow-on medical teams are working in Nicaragua through mid-March.
• On February 18, U.S. Marines and Navy construction crews completed a new elementary school for 100 children in General Santos City, the Philippines, as part of a 10-day visit called Project Kaibigan –- Tagalog for “friendship” –- in which more than 1,000 American military people helped build or renovate schools in three communities.
• In January, a U.S. military medical team spent three weeks in Choculeta, Honduras, where they saved the lives of four newborns, performed 167 major surgeries and conducted 500 medical exams at the regional Hospital del Sur.
• In Afghanistan’s Khost province, many U.S. troops at Forward Operating Base Salerno spend their off-duty days volunteering to help treat patients at the base’s burn clinic. In the region’s harsh climate, hundreds of people are burned each year from exploding heaters in their homes. The U.S. military treats patients at its on-base clinic and has trained Afghan medical specialists to set up a burn clinic outside the military base.
