TF Tsunami-teams enroute
 

Task Force Tsunami-
FYI-
First teams enroute guys. Wheels up about 2 hours ago. Our unit has uniquely qualified folks-we will be the first US MIL bubbas on the ground from the US. Task Force 356 is being head up by 3MEF, we spun two teams up overnight and pushed them out this AM with Forensic Anthropologists, Mortuary Affairs, independant duty medics, and some onsies and twosies.
The Thai government specifically requested our help to determine which bodies were Asian, and which were Western. It seems that due to discoloration, decomp, and exposure many of the victims are currently unidentifiable.

We are spinning 3 additional teams up for Monday departure. You may see me (TV) or read my comments (Wa Post / NY Times/LA Times / AP)as I was pushing the info to most major news/wire networks during the pre-deployment phase. We are involved-in a big way.

The mission is anticipated to go on a 45-60 day rotation for our folks. Long term committment.

Just a bulliten.
Be thankful for our good fortune.

Indeed. Thank you for everything all of you do Eagle5US, my prayers are with all during this horrific tragedy.

Best of luck to all of you, Eagle.

Good luck, Eagle.

Good luck.

Please make sure everyone observes universal procautions. Hepatitis C among other problems are out there and I know of several SF Guys that contracted it doing this same type of work. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but I thought I might add a helpful reminder.

Be safe, good luck.

What Doc says and do be careful !!

Good luck and Thank You.

Good luck and stay safe.

Good luck and be careful.

The scale of this tragedy is just unimaginable.

Best wishes for you and the teams, Eagle.
