RIOHACHA, Colombia (Nov. 24, 2018) – Chief Electrician Douglas Davis, a merchant mariner from Chesapeake, Va., tests the electrical current in a motor for routine maintenance aboard the hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20). Merchant Mariners are employed by the Navy to serve the Military Sealift Command aboard ships like Comfort to provide on-time logistics, strategic sealift, as well as specialized missions anywhere in the world. Comfort is on an 11-week medical support mission to Central and South America as part of Southern Command’s Enduring Promise initiative. Working with health and government partners in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and Honduras, the embarked medical team will provide care on board and at land-based medical sites, helping to relieve pressure on national medical systems caused partly by an increase in cross-border migrants. The deployment reflects the United States’ enduring promise of friendship, partnership and solidarity with the Americas.
