200328-N-UP035-1126 NORFOLK (March 28, 2020) President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper arrive at Naval Station Norfolk, March 28, 2020, to deliver remarks and see off the Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH-20). Comfort is preparing to deploy in support of the nation’s COVID-19 response efforts and will serve as a referral hospital for non-COVID-19 patients currently admitted to shore-based hospitals. This allows shore-based hospitals to focus their efforts on COVID-19 cases. One of the Department of Defense’s missions is Defense Support of Civil Authorities. DoD is supporting the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the lead federal agency, as well as state, local and public health authorities in helping protect the health and safety of the American people.
