Once it was determined there were few survivors,{{clarify|date=March 2019}} Bataan returned to Norfolk, Virginia. The ship's crew prepared and onloaded the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit with gear both pierside in Norfolk, and off the coast of North Carolina from Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune. The Bataan ARG delivered more than 2,500 Marines and their equipment to Pakistan with the aim to enter Afghanistan, thus opening Operation Enduring Freedom. The Bataan ARG stayed on station off the coast of Pakistan and completed the longest sustained amphibious assault in U.S. history with sailors not touching ground for over four months.{{cn|date=March 2019}} 2003 to 2007: The Iraq WarBataan was one of many vessels in the Middle East region at the beginning of the Iraq War on or about 20 March 2003.

She was positioned near New Orleans prior to Katrina making landfall, and began relief operations on 30 August. The ship's helicopters were among the first to provide damage assessment. They went on to transport over 1,600 displaced persons. Bataan delivered more than {{convert|100,000|lb|kg}} of cargo and 8,000 U.S. gallons (30,000 liters) of fresh water to the area.

In 2009, Bataan became the first Navy ship to host an operational squadron of V-22 rotorcraft when she embarked ten Ospreys of the VMM-263.[3] 2008: Hurricane GustavEarly in September 2008, Bataan participated in the HURREX exercise where the U.S. Second Fleet directed tests designed to evaluate the ship's ability to respond to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief needs during the 2008 hurricane season. She was ordered to be prepared to deploy in the event that the Navy is directed to provide assistance to civilian authorities after Hurricane Gustav came ashore.[4] 2008: Controversial use as a prison shipIn June 2008, the UK-based human rights organization Reprieve issued a report that listed Bataan as one of up to 17 ships they believed were used to imprison terrorism suspects.[5] On 2 June 2008, The Guardian reported that "The US has admitted that Bataan and {{USS|Peleliu|LHA-5|2}} were used as prison ships between December 2001 and January 2002".[6] 2010: Haiti earthquakeOn 13 January 2010, Bataan was ordered to assist in the humanitarian relief efforts following the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[7] She was deployed to Grand-Goâve and returned home 1 April 2010.[8] 2011: Libya and ItalyOn 23 March 2011, Bataan was deployed to Italy to assist in enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} 2014: Air Campaign in IraqDuring the 2014 air campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, AV-8B Harriers from Bataan participated in reconnaissance missions and at least one air strike, including the first use of Marine Corps ordnance against an ISIS-controlled target.[9] 2016: Mark VI patrol boat operationsIn May 2016, Bataan conducted well deck operations with the Mark VI patrol boat, demonstrating the capability to launch and dock the 85 ft patrol boat with an amphibious assault ship.
