 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pancall. Sailors and Coast Guardsmen from Coastal Riverine Squadron 11 are participating in this year's Rim of the Pacific or RimPak exercise. Members of the squadron conducted several training exercises such as maneuvering drills and stranded boater search and rescue. Joint exercises like these help the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard work together more effectively. The Navy leverages some of the Coast Guard expertise in the search and rescue fields and some of the smaller boat operations and learn from the Navy as well and then take some of their expertise back to the Coast Guard. This has been a really good immersion into how the Coastal Riverine unit works in this community and what the capabilities are. The Navy and Coast Guard exchange valuable training and expertise in small boat and port security operations during the exercise.
