On January 12, 2010, a 7.2 Magnitude earthquake struck Haiti causing catastrophic infrastructure damage and loss of life to the major population center of Port Au Prince and surrounding areas. It is estimated that over 200,000 people perished and two million people were displaced. The country’s infrastructure was decimated.

The U.S. Military was tasked to support the humanitarian assistance/disaster relief efforts. Operation UNIFIED RESPONSE was established with Joint Task Force Haiti (JTF-H) leading the humanitarian assistance/disaster relief and force sustainment operations in Haiti. Task Force 48 was stood up at Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay to operate a Joint Logistics Sea Base, supported by a Joint Logistics Hub.

The webinar will focus on the roles Supply Corps officers played across the theater and include a panel of Supply Corps leaders who were on the ground and offshore. Advance registration is required to attend the Webinar. Please register here. To submit an advance question for the panelists, please email foundation@usnscf.com.
