U.S. Marines embarked aboard the Military Sealift Command’s (MSC) Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship USNS Sacagawea (T-AKE 2) arrived in New Caledonia June 25 to take part in Koa Moana 17 (Ocean Warrior).
The Koa Moana exercise series enhances senior military leader engagements between allied and partner nations with a collective interest in military-to-military relations and to discuss key aspects of military operations, capability development, and interoperability.
From June-September 2017 U.S. Marines from California and Hawaii will participate in Koa Moana 17 events in Kiribati, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, Timor Leste, Tonga, and Vanuatu.
Working alongside these partner nations, the Marines also work alongside the crew of the USNS Sacagawea, attending shipboard training, drills, and sharing workload duties during their time onboard.
MSC contracted civilian mariners assigned to the USNS Sacagawea such as able-bodied seaman and deck hands operate ship elevators and cranes, which assist in the movement of U.S. Marine equipment used specifically for this exercise.
