Hammond and troop
complete operation in Haiti
NAVY SEAMAN Casey
M. Hammond son of Karen L.
and Timbo Parr, Jefferson, and
nearly 1,000 sailors and Marines
attached to USS Bataan (LHD
5) recently returned to Norfolk,
Va„ after 10 weeks, supporting
Operation Unified Response in
Haiti.
Hammond is a2006 graduate of
Jackson County Comprehensive
High School and joined the Navy
in August 2008.
The ship surged from Norfolk
Jan. 14, just 48 hours after a 7.0
magnitude earthquake caused
severe damage to Haiti’s capital
city of Port-au-Prince and sur
rounding areas. Arriving on Jan.
18, Bataan crew members imme
diately began providing disaster
relief to the people of Haiti.
Navy and Marine helicopters
as well as landing craft air cush
ions (LCAC), which are vehicles
designed for land and sea, trans
ported nearly 1,000 pallets of
relief supplies, medically evacu
ated 97 patients to Bataan and
provided transport for another
524 Haitian patients to and from
the Navy hospital ship USNS
Comfort (T-AH 20), the aircraft
carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN
70) and hospitals throughout Port-
au-Prince.
Bataan’s medical team also
provided services ashore for
approximately 2,000 patients,
delivered the ship’s first baby; 8
pound, 3 ounce "Theo Joe.” As
part of their preventive medicine
campaign, Bataan also coordi
nated with the U.S. Public Health
Service in immunizing nearly 10,
000 people.
Bataan operated primarily off
the coast of Grand Goave, Haiti,
and conducted “22 Sailors Ashore
Missions” (SAM), ultimately
removing 150 tons of rubble,
building 65 shelters for 130 fami
lies and distributing more than
500,000 meals.
Throughout the relief effort, the
Navy and Marine Corps team
worked with various U.S. and
partner government organizations,
independent aid organizations and
local Haitian leaders to deliver
aid and allow the organizations
to return to their pre-earthquake
capacities.
Bataan was scheduled to begin
a planned maintenance availabil
ity at Norfolk’s British Defense,
Security, and Aerospace Company
(BAE) Shipyard in mid-April.
