Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia (Jan. 6, 2005) – Lt. Shawn Harris, assigned to the guided missile destroyer USS Shoup (DDG 86), carries an injured boy from an MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter to a triage site setup by various relief groups on the Sultan Iskandar Muda Air Force Base in Aceh, Sumatra. Medical teams from the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) Carrier Strike Group, 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.
