FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA - Tech. Sgt. Michael Jackson, an airman from Defense Media Activities Hawaii, discusses the 2012 Manaw search and rescue exercise conducted between the U.S. Coast Guard and the local government agencies, June 2, 2012.

The field test was designed to evaluate the leeway or the effect of wind upon the exposed surface of a boat based on its size, shape and dimensions. During the field test and exercise, two skiffs were used to help track wind, current and the speed to get a general idea of how all these elements affect these small vessels.
