A 2,000-strong unit of U.S. Marines began moving ashore west of
Port-au-Prince at dawn on Tuesday to help deliver relief to victims of
last week's earthquake. Some U.S. troops landed by helicopter at the
presidential palace, where crowds of Haitians cheered as the troops began
distributing aid. A range of U.S. military efforts are now underway,
including airdrops of supplies and the expected arrival of the huge
hospital ship the USNS Comfort on Wednesday.
With medical teams and mobile facilities from several countries already in
place in Haiti, the deputy commander of the U.S. military effort there,
Army Major General Daniel Allyn, says American priorities have shifted to
delivering vehicles to distribute aid, machinery to produce clean water
and equipment to clear rubble and begin reconstruction. He The U.S.
troops are also working with Haitian authorities to re-establish normal
production and distribution of water, fuel and other key supplies.
At the same time, General Allyn says the military units must continue to
transport food, water and other critical items that are needed
immediately. "The delivery of capability here in Haiti is a balancing act
that requires troops on the ground to distribute humanitarian assistance,
the supplies for them to distribute and the mobility necessary for them to
be able to reach the communities that are most stricken," he said.

In addition, the U.S. Air Force conducted its first airdrop of supplies on
Monday, north of Port-au-Prince, using an aircraft that flew from the
United States and returned there after the drop, easing pressure on the
Port-au-Prince airport.
General Allyn says such drops will resume on Wednesday. He says ground
troops need to secure drop zones for the heavy pallets of water, food and
medicine, and that they need vehicles and other capabilities to secure and
distribute the aid. "As our assessment determines that we have a gap
between the demand on the ground and our ability to deliver, obviously we
then adjust the priority on delivery of supplies coming into the theater
[i.e., the area] to ensure what is needed can be met," he said.
