U.S. Marines and soldiers with the Papua New Guinea Defence Force prepare targets to conduct live fire range training, June 21, 2016, during Exercise Koa Moana, at Goldie Barracks, Papua New Guinea, as part of Task Force Koa Moana’s deployment in the Asia-Pacific region. The infantry platoon with the task force is responsible for conducting patrolling, urban warfare and live fire ranges to build relations with multiple nations during the deployment. Koa Moana is the first multi-national, bilateral exercise between the PNGDF and U.S. Marines directly, and is designed to increase interoperability and relations by sharing infantry, law enforcement, medical and engineer skills. The Marines are originally assigned to 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. William Hester/ Released)
