In the aftermath of hurricane Andrew, the 82nd Airborne Division was dispatched to south Florida. They were also sent to New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.

Were they there to provide LE, or relief (tents, food, tac vehicles, generators. PI-"Recovery Radio", potable water, medcap, etc.)?

They were standing on street corners to deter looting in New Orleans.
