<strong>MV</strong>-<strong>22</strong>B MISSION<br />
Haiti<br />
Operation Unified Response<br />
Jan 2010<br />
SNAPSHOT<br />
U.S. Marines and Sailors from the 24th Marine<br />
Expeditionary Unit and the Nassau Amphibious<br />
Ready Group exit an <strong>MV</strong>-<strong>22</strong>B Osprey to visit<br />
Hinche Regional Central Hospital in support of<br />
Operation Unified Response, Jan 24, 2010, in<br />
Hinche, Haiti.<br />
<strong>MV</strong>-<strong>22</strong>B speed and range made it the platform of<br />
choice for a variety of missions<br />
• Long-range logistics runs to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (over 200nm) to<br />
pick up supplies for distribution<br />
• Movement of 492 personnel for site assessments at remote sites for<br />
JTF-Haiti<br />
• Movement of personnel for presence and security at multiple sites<br />
• Movement of water and nearly 13,000 lbs of food and medical<br />
supplies.<br />
“The overall advantage for using the Osprey is the efficiency<br />
with which we can get all of this done... The speed of<br />
the Osprey allows us to land multiple teams in areas all<br />
throughout northern Haiti, leave them there with enough time<br />
to get a good assessment and retrieve all these teams before<br />
nightfall — only using two Ospreys.”<br />
– Capt. Robert Shuford<br />
24th Marine Expeditionary Unit
