The Nepalese Government requested the U.S. Government’s help after the earthquake. U.S. Marines from III Marine Expeditionary Force have come together with other U.S. services to form Joint Task Force 505. JTF-505 works in conjunction with USAID and the international community to provide unique capabilities to assist Nepal.
