Summary

A C-17 Globemaster assigned to the 62th Airlift Wing based out of Joint-Base Loius-McChord, Wash., taxis so relief supplies for Eastern Turkey can be loaded and delivered to the thousands of people displaced by the 7.2 magnitude quake. Marines, airmen and Norwegian soldiers work around the clock to load emergency equipment onto a C-17 U.S. Air Force Globemaster III. Marines assigned to U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Europe, along with airmen with 62nd Airlift Wing, based out of Joint-Base Louis-McChord, and the Norwegian soldiers assembled 16 pallets loaded with 369 arctic tents, 369 space heaters and 369 fuel cans – totaling more than 91,000 lbs., Oct. 31. The gear they delivered was stored at the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Norway. MCPP-N provides a responsive source of equipment and supplies for Marine Corps operations, including humanitarian assistance, in the European theater.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
