WASHINGTON – More U.S. forces are getting under way as the military ramps up its mission to help earthquake victims in Haiti.

An advance group of a little over 100 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division will leave Fort Bragg in North Carolina Thursday. The Army says the group will find locations to set up tents and other essentials in preparation for the arrival of another several hundred from the division on Friday.

The soldiers come on top of some 2,200 Marines also on their way as the military prepares to help with security, search and rescue and the delivery of humanitarian supplies.

More than a half dozen U.S. military ships also are expected to help, with the largest, the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, also arriving Thursday.

They were there once before weren't they?

Anyway, I heard Robertson's complete statement about Haiti this morning on Stern on the way in...talk about a disconnect between Reality and Happy Ville...

Yes, I had a professor who jumped into Haiti....I'm going to guess around 1965. I don't recall the details but I'll look it up as the day goes by.

Edit: Do'h! It was the Dominican Republic...my bad.

Thought Clinton sent the 82nd...could be wrong...

Clinton sent a naval vessel but it was turned away by Haitians threatening violence IIRC. Haiti was impoverished and the land raped before the earthquake.

I'll have to study my Haiti history today.

Now I remember...the 82nd was in the air while Carter negotiated for Aristedes return to office after a coup...
