Expeditionary Strike Group Five (ESG-5), en route to deliver much
needed materials and supplies to the citizens in the city of Meulaboh,
on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. The LCACs are capable of
transporting more supplies than helicopters in a single trip. The

the Indian Ocean off the waters of Indonesia and Thailand in support of
