U.S. Marine Corps Reserves Sgt. Carlos Munoz, a Civil Affairs Marine assigned to 3d Civil Affairs Group, teaches American Sign Language (ASL) to a deaf Afghan child, Fatemeh, and her family on Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, February 2, 2022. Fatemeh is 3 years old and the region of Afghanistan her family comes from has no support or schools for children like her. Her family is being relocated to Maryland where they can continue learning ASL. The Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command, and in support of the Department of Homeland Security, is providing transportation, temporary housing, medical screening, and general support for at least 50,000 Afghan guests at suitable facilities, in permanent or temporary structures, as quickly as possible. This initiative provides Afghan guests essential support at secure locations outside Afghanistan. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Robert P Wormley III, 50th Public Affairs Detachment)
