SRI LANKA — U.S. military forces delivered critical disaster relief to Sri Lanka following the impact of Cyclone Ditwah, which made landfall on November 28.
The U.S. response leveraged the rapid deployment capabilities of U.S. forces in the Indo-Pacific by delivering a pair of C-130J Super Hercules carrying 79 personnel and relief supplies to conduct critical logistical support to communities isolated by the storm, allowing mainstay relief efforts to focus on areas easier to reach.
