    ARAWA, Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea (June 30, 2015) Australian Air Force Sgt. John Baker takes a photo of a World War II-era canon at the monument site of Chief Barosi, an Arawan who assisted allied forces during World War II. Australian Defence Force personnel and Sailors helped clean the monument site as part of a community service project during Pacific Partnership 2015. The hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) is in Papua New Guinea for its second mission port of PP15. 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 service 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 Christopher E.
