Sgt. Maj. Michael P. Barrett, sergeant major of the Marine Corps, shakes the hand of Master Chief Petty Officer, Brian T. Schlicht, commanding master chief of the USS Wasp (LPD 1), Nov. 05, 2012. Barrett then proceeded to inform the Marines of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit on updates concerning a course of action for disaster relief in the tri-state area due to Hurricane Sandy. The 26th MEU is able to provide generators, fuel, clean water, and helicopter lift capabilities to aid in disaster relief efforts. The 26th MEU was currently conducting pre-deployment training, preparing for their departure in 2013. As an expeditionary force operating from the sea, the MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force capable of conducting amphibious operations, crisis response, and limited contingency operations.
