Lt. Justin Rogers, mission commander for the "Pelicans" of Patrol Squadron (VP) 45, explains how the P-8A Poseidon has been beneficial to the squadron's training during Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise 2014 to military officers from Bangladesh and Italy. The military representatives from Brazil, Italy, Denmark and Bangladesh were engaged with a P-8 static display and a P-3 familiarization flight. The P-3 event orbited overhead the RIMPAC ship formation, and the observers were able to see first-hand the coalition force steaming in formation. Twenty-two nations, 49 ships, six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC exercise 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. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Amber Porter/Released)
