U.S. Marine Cpl. Brandon Fenley, a water support technician with Joint Task Force - Leeward Islands, drags the hose for a Lightweight Water Purification System into the ocean at a water distribution site in Saint Martin, Sept. 14, 2017. The system allows the Marines to purify approximately 1,800 gallons of water a day in order to supply communities on the island affected by Hurricane Irma. At the request of partner nations, JTF-LI deployed aircraft and service members to areas in the eastern Caribbean Sea affected by Hurricane Irma. The task force is a U.S. military unit composed of Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen, and represents U.S. Southern Command’s primary response to Hurricane Irma. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
