Posted: Updated:

Guam - U.S. Marines and sailors of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and Amphibious Squadron 11 flew from the USS Essex into storm-ravaged areas of the Northern Philippines to assist the government last week. Supertyphoon Megi hit the islands last week with 150 miles per hour winds, waves and heavy rain.

The unit provided two humanitarian assistance survey teams. 19 individuals have died with 24 being injured as a result of the typhoon.
