Sgt. Maj. Micheal P. Barrett, sergeant major of the Marine Corps, and Sgt. Maj. Todd M. Parisi, sergeant major of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, enjoy a conversation shortly after Barrett landed on the USS Wasp (LHD 1). Barrett informed the Marines of the 26th MEU 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.
