During the setup of a humanitarian aid and disaster relief event for Rim of the Pacific training exercise, wind-turbines were used as a source of clean energy at Ford Island, July 7-11. The Soldiers and Sailors also used solar panels, a solar shade, and a hydrogen powered car to provide energy to the camp. Twenty-two nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, about 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in Exercise RIMPAC from June 26 to Aug. 1 in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2014 is the 24th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Kyle J. Richardson, USARPAC PAO)
