As of 1512/20 Jan 10.....as reported by the Jacksonville NC newspaper.....the Osprey might be deployed to Haiti.

Also unclear was whether the MV-22 Ospreys of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 162, the “Golden Eagles” — which trained up with Nassau in December in preparation for this deployment — would be flying over Haiti when the ARG arrived. It would be the first time the Osprey has been used in a major humanitarian assistance operation. Marine Commandant Gen. James Conway said Jan. 14 that the Corps had no plans to send the Osprey at that time, although the Marines would be “ready and willing” to send Ospreys if asked.
