U.S. Navy Lt. Michael Bowe-Rahming, an environmental health officer from West Palm Beach, recently talked to students from Andalas Primary School during a subject matter expert exchange, during Pacific Partnership 2016. Preventative medicine personnel from hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) discussed medical and environmental health information with local field experts and students. This is the fifth time Pacific Partnership has visited Indonesia. Partner nations are working side-by-side with local organizations during disaster response training, civil engineering projects, seminars, medical subject matter expert exchanges and a live field training exercise aimed at improving the capacity of local government, civilian agencies and partner militaries to collectively respond in crisis.
