U.S. Navy’s amphibious dock landing ship USS Carter Hall (LSD 50) has demonstrated its emergency response capabilities by conducting amphibious operations to load and unload mobile equipment to train how to properly respond to a natural disaster and to provide humanitarian assistance, July 11.
According to Lt. Cmdr. Patrick Williams, USS Carter Hall (LSD 50) Public Affairs, this exercise is part of the Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) training event in the Norfolk area.
“These training evolutions are a great way to highlight the synergy between the Navy-Marine Corps teams and to validate the operational plans to properly prepare to help those in need after a natural disaster,†said Cmdr. Bruce Golden, Carter Hall’s commanding officer. “Amphibious ships bring a unique capability to quickly and efficiently bring gear and supplies ashore. These training evolutions enable the Carter Hall’s crew and partner units to practice communication and procedures to effectively work together to ensure the highest level of readiness is achieved before being tasked for a real world mission.â€
