Marines with Task Force Koa Moana relax on a Papua New Guinea naval vessel during their transition from USNS Sacagawea (T-AKE 2) to shore, June 17, 2016, as part of their deployment in the Asia-Pacific region. This is the first time the Papua New Guinea Defence Force and U.S. Marines will participate in a training exercise directly, as well as the first time for the Papua New Guinea Navy to conduct a ship to ship to shore movement with equipment and personnel. Koa Moana is a multi-national, bilateral exercise designed to increase interoperability and relations by sharing infantry, engineering, law enforcement and medical skills. The Marines and Sailors with the task force are originally assigned to I and III Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. William Hester/ Released)
