    U.S. Marines, U.S. Navy servicemembers and distinguished visitors wait for the Peleliu Civic Center, the interim World War II Memorial Museum, ribbon cutting ceremony to begin as part of exercise Koa Moana 24, at Peleliu, Republic of Palau, Sept. 15, 2024. The ceremony represents the opening of the center that holds U.S. and Japanese artifacts from the Battle of Peleliu fought from Sept. 15 to Nov. 27, 1944, where U.S. forces endured intense combat to secure the island from Japanese forces, resulting in significant casualties on both sides. During Koa Moana’s deployment throughout the Indo-Pacific region, U.S. Marines and Sailors from I Marine Expeditionary Force work to strengthen alliances and partnerships with development of interoperable capabilities, combined operations, theater security cooperation, and capacity-building efforts.
