 Pacific Partnership 2014 kicked off in Cambodia June 19th. The 10-day mission across the Cambodian countryside brings together crews from U.S., Australian, and Japanese militaries to train for possible future humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts. Medical engagement teams provided basic medical, dental, and optometry assistance to locals and veterinary services to their livestock. Navy surgeons also trained with their Cambodian counterparts at local hospitals. The Pacific Partnership nursing teams exchanged medical training with Cambodian nurses to improve disaster preparedness. Pacific Partnership is an annual humanitarian and civic assistance mission that brings together host and partner nations to build stronger relationships and develop disaster response capabilities throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
