N-95 Respirator testing in Atlanta before we left.


These are the tents we picked up in Atlanta before we left and in which we stayed the first two nights. Trying to get two people in each tent was challenging. They were donated to the locals after the Israelis gave us bigger tents to stay in. We eventually got additional 35 foot tents to stay in, but most members liked the privacy of the Israeli tents so continued to use them.

 
Waiting after landing in Haiti for our assignment.
 

More sitting and sitting.... for nearly a full day. Cards anyone?


Finally on the move.... not exactly first class, but these trucks did the job.


We were all just happy to be on the move again with hopes of making a difference.
 
 
  Here we have arrived at the NDMS stock pile and are picking up our equipment that had come in earlier to the airport.


Our first night sleeping quarters at our new compound location. Note the Israeli team in the back as they were about to depart, and the tents we were about to inherit later that day.


This is the communications / command area that we called the swamp. It was good that it never rained and the trees supplied an area that was a bit cooler than the tents.

Our Deputy Commander did much of our recon of local medical facilities so we could properly transfer patients.

The camp before two additional large tents were installed. The blue Israeli provided tents were wonderful. When we left, these blue tents were also turned over to the locals.


Putting up extra sleeping tents.... Hot work.


7 PM staff meeting.


Strike teams get ready to roll...


Planning the days strike team efforts.


Strike Team Alpha. These daily strike teams delivered food and medical assistance to the many local tent cities.
Our friends, the 82nd Airborne were our protectors, transport, source of supplies and backup power. We in turn provided medical care, and training for their Medics. The 82nd Airborne camped along side our camp. All sides agreed that this was a great marriage of two groups.


Time for a shower! Actually nothing but two spigots about 4 feet off the ground, but it served the purpose.


Our day help plus some of those who were employed by the 82nd Airborne.




Here we enjoy MREs for the.... how many times?
