BAWFAL, Bangledesh (Dec. 4, 2007) Marines from HMM-166 (REIN), 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) (Special Operations Capable), fly on a CH-46E into Bawfal to deliver food to the Bangladeshi people. The amphibious assault ship USS Tarawa (LHA 1) and the embarked 11th MEU (SOC) are conducting Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief efforts in response to the government of Bangladesh's request for assistance after Tropical Cyclone Sidr struck their southern coast Nov. 15. The storm killed more than 3,000 people and has left several hundred thousand homeless. The Department of Defense effort is part of a larger U.S. response coordinated by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development. U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Bryson K.
