(LSD 49) were ordered back to sea, and are en route to the Philippine
Island of Leyte, to provide much needed humanitarian assistance for the
victims of a devastating landslide. Both ships are part of the
Forward Deployed Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), the Navy's only
forward-deployed amphibious force, homeported in Sasebo, Japan.
