STORYLINE:
Residents of Indonesia''s province of Aceh, one of the areas worst-affected by last weekend''s tsunami, were evacuated to a nearby capital on Friday as the US military prepared to send aid back to the stricken region.
After the military cargo plane touched down in Medan - capital of the province next-door to Aceh, families stepped off with their bags and suitcases.
Ambulances waited to bring the injured to hospitals.
US Marines were also on hand at Telonie airport, waiting to load supplies and relief equipment onto the plane.
The United States has dispatched a number of units to help with relief efforts across the Indian Ocean region.
The team in Medan is part of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force.
