U.S. Marine Sgt. Austin Cody, with Joint Task Force - Leeward Islands, lets Raeshawn Noel take his photo at Douglas-Charles Airport in Dominica, Sept. 26, 2017. Noel, 3, is one of the U.S. citizens evacuated by the task force and the Department of State in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. U.S. service members with Joint Task Force - Leeward Islands have set up an evacuation control center at Douglas-Charles Airport to assist in the voluntary evacuation of U.S. citizens stranded on Dominica after Hurricane Maria. At the request of partner nations and both the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development, JTF-LI has deployed aircraft and service members to areas in the eastern Caribbean Sea affected by hurricanes Irma and Maria. The task force is a U.S. military unit composed of Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen, and represents U.S. Southern Command’s primary response to both disasters. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
