U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Jesus Dislalopez (right) and Cpl. James E. Sanchez install a satellite communications antenna on a UH-1Y Huey at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, May 7. Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 469 traveled to Nepal from Clark Air Base, Philippines, May 3, and received their third and final UH-1Y Huey four days later. Their Hueys will assist the Nepalese government to transport food, water, and shelter supplies to the Nepalese people in the rural areas of Nepal. The Nepalese government requested assistance from U.S. Agency for International Development after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck their country, April 25. In response, the U.S. military sent Marines, Airmen, Soldiers and Sailors as part of Joint Task Force 505 at the direction of USAID. They will continue to support Nepal as needed. Dislalopez is an air framer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sanchez is a aviation electronic technician from Brownsville, Texas. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mandaline Hatch/Released)
