The Pacific Partnership arrived on the Marshall Islands in early July providing valuable humanitarian assistance.
The 2013 Pacific Partnership mission brought more than 500 U.S. military members, volunteers and others to engage in a variety of humanitarian projects.
According to reports, projects included pier repair on Ebeye, construction of water tower and water system, installation of water catchments as well as health screenings.
In addition, a workshop was also held on drought preparedness. The two-week long mission kicked off on July 3rd in Marshall Islands Capital of Majuro.
So far, the mission has delivered a water-making unit to Ebeye and provided medical services among others.
The Pacific Partnership is a mission that brings host nation governments, U.S. military, partner nation military and non-governmental organization volunteers together to conduct disaster-preparedness projects and build relationships in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
Other host nations for this year’s mission include Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Samoa.
