On the 12th of January 2010, Haiti was struck by a 7.0 Richter magnitude earthquake that devastated its already fragile capital region. Approximately 230,000 people died immediately or during ensuing weeks, mostly due to acute trauma. Countless others suffered significant life- or limb-threatening injuries. As a part of the United States' response to this tragedy, eventually named Operation Unified Response, the United States Navy deployed hundreds of physicians and other medical response individuals on a hospital ship. Operation Unified Response was a military joint task force operation augmented by governmental and nongovernmental organizations. Its mission was to bring medical and logistical support to the region.
2010 年 1 月 12 日，海地发生里氏 7.0 级地震，重创了该国本已脆弱的首都地区。约有 23 万人在地震中或随后几周内死亡，主要死因是急性创伤。还有无数人遭受了严重的生命或肢体威胁性伤害。作为美国对这场悲剧的回应的一部分，最终被命名为“统一行动响应”，美国海军在一艘医疗船上部署了数百名医生和其他医疗救援人员。“统一行动响应”是一个由政府和非政府组织支持的军事联合特遣部队行动。其任务是向该地区提供医疗和后勤支持。
