Summary

[edit]
Description

Picture shows Army Commandos delivering aid and providing support to British Virgin Islands communities.

Barnstaple based 59 Commando Squadron from 24 Commando Royal Engineers are supporting the communities of the British Virgin Islands with the disaster relief effort.

The specialist Commando engineers have restored power, running water, runway lighting and are repairing the perimeter fence at Terrance B, Lettsome International Airport on the island of Tortola. Ensuring the airport remains functioning is critical to allow the influx of aid agencies, military personnel and extraction of stranded locals, British Nationals and tourists.

Much of their work during the initial days of the deployment has focused on clearing essential transport routes allowing the movement of people, aid and access for the emergency services.
