Lance Cpl. Hansel J. Ortega acts as a suspicious visitor during entry-control point training, June 20, 2016, at Taurama Barracks, Papua New Guinea, as part of Exercise Koa Moana, as part of Task Force Koa Moana’s deployment to the Asia-Pacific region. Hasty personnel searches are a tool used at an ECP to prevent contraband or weapons from entering a specific area. Koa Moana is the first multi-national, bilateral exercise between the Papua New Guinea Defence Force and U.S. Marines directly and is designed to increase interoperability and relations by sharing infantry, engineering, medical and law enforcement skills. Ortega, from Baltimore, Maryland, is a combat engineer with Task Force Koa Moana, originally assigned to Alpha Company, 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force.
