Mission 6, November 2012 Operation Haiti

Mission Team: Hirsch, Lovelace, Atwell, Conroy, Daniels, Desmond, Lattanzo (Sloan)
Parallel Operation - Notre Dame Parish, Cap-Haitien under the lead of Peter Sloan from the Catholic Diocese of Washington, D.C.

Objectives: Mission 6 marked the beginning of the collaboration between ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE and St. Peter’s on Capitol Hill. Teams from St Peters, led by Peter Sloan, had been conducting parallel missions in the Northern Department and Central Plateau since before the earthquake. Peter invited Stu and Mike to visit the Fort St Michel section of Cap Haitien (named in devotion to the Archangel Michael) before returning home. After a tour of the Notre Dame D’Altagrace parish and clinic site, it was clear to all that a new team had formed. Fittingly the aviators celebrated the occasion with a formation flight over Cap Haitien. Mike Lovelace and Stu Hirsch flew lead in ARCHANGEL 1 and Peter Sloan flew chase in his aircraft which became ARCHANGEL 2. After a rejoin the two-ship formation flew from Cap Haitien to the Southwest Peninsula.

Combining aviation assets with Medical Clinic operations, the new ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE saw over 1,000 patients in four locations.

Accomplishments:
  • All Objectives Met
  • Over 1,000 patients treated through combined team efforts
  • AA-MEDCOM Model was highly successful in achieving maximum operational efficiencies and effectiveness.
