Simulated casualties wait to be transported to Tripler Army Medical Center on a U.S. Army CH-47F Chinook during a humanitarian assistance/disaster relief response as part of Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise 2014. The civilian, joint and coalition HA/DR effort stretched across 20 hospitals and five islands where participants were tested on response, coordination and execution during a simulated Category 3 hurricane. Twenty-two nations, 49 ships, and six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in 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 Sgt. Jessica DuVernay/Released)
