Bdr. Tony Van Vroonhoven, a New Zealand soldier assigned to the 16th Field Regiment, Royal New Zealand Artillery, calls in simulated emergency close-air support (CAS) with U.S. Marines assigned to 3rd Marine Regiment in support of Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise 2014. The simulated CAS missions were executed by AH-1W super cobras with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367 "Scarface." Twenty-two nations, 49 ships and six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 26 to Aug. 1 in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2014 is the 24th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Matthew Callahan/Released)
