    180723-N-VR594-1062 PACIFIC OCEAN (July 23, 2018) Marines assigned to Combat Assault Company, 3rd Marine Regiment train Philippine Navy sailors on chaining down assault amphibious vehicles (AAV) in the well deck aboard the Philippine Navy landing platform dock BRP Davao Del Sur (LD 602) during the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, July 23. This is the first time that Davao Del Sur has conducted operations with U.S. Marine AAVs. Twenty-five nations, 46 ships, five submarines, and about 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 27 to Aug. 2 in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world’s largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity while fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships among participants critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security of the world’s oceans. RIMPAC 2018 is the 26th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Kelsey J. Hockenberger/Released)
