Indonesia: DoD, USAID, and UN staff attend Tsunami Remembrance Event
U.S. Air Force Brig Gen Carla Riner, Air National Guard advisor to the Pacific Air Forces Director of Air and Cyberspace Operations, cuts a ribbon alongside the U.S. delegation at the Aceh Tsunami Museum exhibit opening ceremony in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, Nov. 10, 2024. A 9.0 magnitude earthquake in the Indian Ocean caused a tsunami that destroyed multiple cities in Aceh Province, killing more than 100,000 people on Dec. 26, 2004. In response, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command executed Operation Unified Assistance which involved the deployment of 16,000 personnel, 26 ships, 58 helicopters, and 43 fixed-wing aircraft to deliver 18 million pounds of relief supplies, 400,000 gallons of fresh water, ferrying 8,000 people to safety, and providing direct medical treatment to over 20,000 people.
