Note from the Master Chief Petty Officer Of the Navy - Haiti, Operation Unified Response
As you know we have deployed and mobilized many of our friends and co-workers to Haiti in support of Operation Unified Response to assist interagency and multinational efforts in assessing damage and relieving human suffering after the devastating earthquake and aftershocks.
Human suffering moves us to act, and the flexibility of U.S. maritime forces uniquely positions us to provide humanitarian assistance and disaster response. Supporting civil authorities with capabilities that can help stabilize and improve the situation in the wake of natural and man-made disasters is a core Navy mission.
I am so proud of our Sailors who are helping the people of Haiti by delivering food, water and much needed medical attention. Our assistance reflects our Sailors’ and our nation’s compassion and commitment to those impacted by this earthquake.
Navy Medicine has provided more than 1,500 personnel to support the relief effort, and we have the best corpsmen, doctors and nurses who without a doubt will provide exceptional medical care and compassion that the men, women and children of Haiti so desperately need.
This large-scale response for humanitarian assistance is impressive, but we may see some challenges here at home. For instance, regularly scheduled appointments for health care may be delayed as shore-based personnel are deployed in support of relief efforts in Haiti. I ask for you patience as we try to save lives and provide help for those in need.
Bottom line is, if you do see an impact at your medical facility, please be patient with the medical personnel there and remember that many of our shipmates, corpsmen, doctors and nurses are deployed to help relieve the devastation and suffering the people of Haiti are facing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Haitian people and all those affected by this devastating earthquake.
