U.S. Navy Sailors assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eight (EODMU-8), prepare to load their zodiac pontoon boat onto a trailer following an initial exploration of the Marinai housing area on board Naval Air Station (NAS) Sigonella. Continuous heavy rainfall since Dec. 13 resulted in flooding and power outages aboard NAS Sigonella and in surrounding areas, including government housing units in Maranai and Maneo. Six inches to three feet of standing water was reported. NAS Sigonella provides logistical support to Commander 6th Fleet in support of the Global War on Terrorism.
