Members of the 1ST Royal Australian Regiment disembark from a Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363 (HMH-363) CH-53D Sea Stallion helicopter during the multinational relief effort Operation Restore Hope. They are escorting bags of grain donated by Australia. The grain is being delivered to a field outside the village of Maleel instead of driven because it is suspected that the roads leading to the village have been mined
