Meulaboh, on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia

Meulaboh, Sumatra, Indonesia (Jan. 10, 2005) - Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vehicles, assigned to USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) and Expeditionary Strike Group Five (ESG-5), deliver needed materials and supplies to the citizens in the city of Meulaboh, on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. The LCACs are capable of transporting more supplies than helicopters in a single trip. The Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group is currently operating in the Indian Ocean off the waters of Indonesia and Thailand in support of Operation Unified Assistance, the humanitarian operation effort in the wake of the Tsunami that struck South East Asia.
