Corpsman carries an Indonesian baby

Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia (Feb. 28, 2005) – Chief Hospital Corpsman James Price carries an Indonesian baby from a MH-60S Seahawk helicopter towards an Indonesian military hospital after the baby was discharged from the Military Sealift Command (MSC) hospital corpsman USNS Mercy (T-AH 19). The baby received a Computed Tomography Imaging (CT) scan aboard Mercy, which is the only CT scanner in the region. Mercy is serving as an enabling platform to assist humanitarian operations ashore in ways that host nations and international relief organization find useful. Mercy is currently off the waters of Indonesia in support of Operation Unified Assistance, the humanitarian relief effort to aid the victims of the tsunami that struck Southeast Asia.
