Operation Sahayogi Haat

[4] This task force was put into operation to organize the humanitarian relief efforts to limit further loss of life and suffering.

These humanitarian services along with urban search and rescue teams were already delivered to Nepal by the U.S. Air Force.

[4] A statement from the U.S. Department of Defense says that their fast response relief efforts in Nepal likely reduced the scale of further disaster following the earthquake.

[citation needed] A U.S. Marine Corps Bell UH-1Y "Venom" Huey, BuNo 168792, 'SE-08',[6] of Camp Pendleton-based HMLA-469 "Vengeance" was declared missing on May 12 while supporting the relief operations in the Charikot Region of the Himalaya Mountains.

[11] Between arrival on May 5 and through May 18, working with the Nepalese army, 42 Airmen[B] from the 36th Contingency Response Group offloaded more than 4 million pounds (1,800 t) of cargo from 80 aircraft at the Tribhuvan International Airport.

During the operation the United States Marine Corps reported about 120 short tons (110 t) of relief supplies had been deployed.

They also reported the transportation of 553 personnel rescues and 69 casualty evacuations that were carried out since the operation began.
