Service members with Veterinary Readiness Activity, Hawaii (VRA-HI), supervise the uploading of food items to the USNS Washington Chambers (T-AKE 11) ship at the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam pier in order to be transferred to USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) ship for resupply at sea operations in support of Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2024, July 17. The VRA-HI does rigorous inspection for contaminants, pathogens, and potential sabotage. In the Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) region, this preventative approach mitigates risks of foodborne illnesses, which can significantly impact operational readiness. Twenty-nine nations, 40 surface ships, three submarines, 14 national land forces, more than 150 aircraft, and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC in and around the Hawaiian Islands, June 27 to Aug. 1. 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 on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2024 is the 29th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Christina Westover)
