Interview: Maj. Vanko discusses joint operations and preparation for Hurricane Maria
U.S. Marine Corps Forces, South
Sept. 18, 2017 | 2:21
U.S. Army Maj. Jake Vanko, operations officer with the Army Aviation Element, Joint Task Force - Leeward Islands, answers questions during an interview at Air National Guard Base, Carolina, Puerto Rico, Sept. 18, 2017. The task force is moving their aircraft to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, in preparation for Hurricane Maria, so they can continue their humanitarian assistance and disaster relief mission once the storm passes. At the request of partner nations, JTF-LI deployed aircraft and service members to areas in the eastern Caribbean Sea affected by Hurricane Irma. The task force is a U.S. military unit composed of Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen, and represents U.S. Southern Command’s primary response to Hurricane Irma. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Sgt. Ian Leones)
