 Pacific Partnership departed Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam aboard USS Pearl Harbor with service members, partner-nation militaries and NGO personnel en route to the islands of Samoa. The visit will be the first mission port for Pacific Partnership 2013, the largest disaster response preparation mission in the Indo-Asia Pacific region. It's never if we're going to have a disaster, the questions always win, and even while you're out there steaming about, you may be called upon to deviate from course to go do something else if that need arises. Working together united to better prepare and respond. From USS Pearl Harbor, I'm Petty Officer Carlos Vasquez II.
