The operation provided medical supplies, shelter, food and personal hygiene items for the civilian population of Georgia.[2] Deployment of U.S. ForcesU.S. Air ForceAs of August 27, 2008, the U.S. Air Force had flown 55 airlift sorties delivering 1,944,000 pounds of supplies since 13 August.[3] U.S. NavyAs of August 27, 2008, the U.S. Navy destroyer USS McFaul had delivered 155,000 pounds of humanitarian supplies to the port of Batumi.[3] In addition, the command ship USS Mount Whitney arrived in the Georgian main port of Poti on September 5 with additional supplies.[3] U.S. Coast GuardAs of August 27, 2008, the U.S. Coast Guard cutter USCGC Dallas had delivered 76,000 pounds of aid for displaced persons.[4] Russian reactionRussian President Dmitry Medvedev accused the States of using Operation Assured Delivery as a cover for delivering military support to Georgia. Media reported have suggested that USS McFaul docked in the Georgian-controlled port of Batumi, rather than the primary Georgian port of Poti which was controlled by Russians at time.[5]However, the USS Mount Whitney docked in Poti. Russian authorities were concerned about the ship's arrival, claiming that the ship's size and weight suggested that it was not bringing humanitarian aid, but instead bringing significant U.S. military weapons. The source also noted that the Mount Whitney was a command-and-control vessel coordinating a group of NATO ships in the Black Sea.[6] See also
