After a cyclone devastated the South Pacific island of Niue in early January, the Royal Australian Air Force delivered more than 25,000 pounds of emergency medical supplies, Army vehicles, generators, tents, and all equipment necessary for maintaining a self-sufficient field hospital on board one of the service's twelve C-130Js as the first step of Operation Niue Assist, an Australian-led humanitarian operation. A contingent of twenty-one Army and RAAF personnel also flew in on the Super Hercules to set up the field hospital and assist the islanders.
