BLANG PIDIE, Indonesia (Jan. 9, 2005) -- Sgt. Chris Garrison, a CH-53E Super Stallion crew chief, carries a 55-gallon drum to fill it with JP-8 aviation fuel. The crew pumped more than 1,100 gallons of humanitarian fuel here to help get a fleet of Indonesian helicopters back in the air to support the relief efforts. The 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit has been providing desperately needed humanitarian aid to cities and villages along more than 150 miles of Sumatra's western coastline. (Photo by Gunnery Sgt.
