After a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck the Al Hoceima Province in northern Morocco on 1 February, a large international relief effort quickly began. The United States joined the relief effort on 28 February when a C-130H crew assigned to the 37th Airlift Squadron at Ramstein AB, Germany, touched down at Nador Airport with four pallets of critical medical supplies and a US European Command Humanitarian Assistance Survey Team. Several hours later, a Utah Air National Guard Hercules crew arrived with a full load of blankets and additional medical supplies. The Guard's involvement is based on a new program that aligns US allies with a particular state, known as the State Partnership Program.
