ATLANTIC OCEAN (, 2018) – Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Nancy Torres, from Fresno, Calif., assigned to the laboratory, takes a blood sample from Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Vanessa Johnson, from Los Angeles, aboard the hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20). Comfort is on an 11-week medical support mission to Central and South America as part of Southern Command’s Enduring Promise initiative.
