A Papua New Guinean naval ship heads toward USNS Sacagawea (T-AKE 2) for Task Force Koa Moana to disembark their gear and personnel, off the coast of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, June 17, 2016. This marks the first time the Papua New Guinea Defence Force and U.S. Marines will train together directly. Papua New Guinea is the second of four destinations for the task force during their deployment in the Asia-Pacific region. Their deployment consists of multiple multi-national, bilateral exercises designed to increase the interoperability and relations between participating nations by sharing infantry, engineering, law enforcement and medical skills. The Marines and Sailors are originally assigned to I and III Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. William Hester/ Released)
