Tsunami victims board a C-130 Hercules

Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia (Jan. 5, 2005) – Australian Military personnel help Tsunami victims board a C-130 Hercules aircraft prior to being flown from Sultan Iskandar Muda Air Force Base in Banda Aceh, Indonesia to Jakarta, Indonesia. Medical teams from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) set-up a triage site located on Sultan Iskandar Muda Air Force Base, in Banda Aceh, Sumatra. The two teams worked together with members of the Australian Air Force to provide initial medical care to victims of the Tsunami-stricken coastal regions. The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is currently operating in the Indian Ocean off the waters of Indonesia and Thailand in support of Operation Unified Assistance.
