ARAWA, Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea (June 30, 2015) A woman waits her turn at the Pacific Partnership community health engagement in Arawa, Papua New Guinea.

Pacific Partnership is in its tenth iteration and is the largest annual multilateral humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. While training for crisis conditions, Pacific Partnership missions to date have provided real world medical care to approximately 270,000 patients and veterinary services to more than 38,000 animals. Critical infrastructure development has been supported in host nations during more than 180 engineering projects. (U.S. Navy photo by Chief Mass Communication Specialist Greg Badger/Released)
