    U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Daniel Shipley, left, deputy commander of U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific, gives a coin to Cpl. Elan Baissoune, a heavy equipment operator with Combat Logistics Battalion 13, Combat Logistics Regiment 17, 1st Marine Logistics Group, and a native of Brooklyn, New York, after leading a guided tour of the Peleliu Civic Center, the interim Peleliu World War II Memorial Museum as part of exercise Koa Moana 24, at Peleliu, Republic of Palau, Sept. 15, 2024. The ribbon cutting ceremony represents the opening of the museum 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.
