150601-N-MK341-003 Pacific Ocean (June 1, 2015) - A helicopter from Military Sealift Command Dry Cargo and Ammunition Ship USNS Charles Drew (T-AKE 9) take off from the flight deck of the Joint High Speed Vessel USNS Millinocket (JHSV 3) during a vertical replenishment and refueling at sea June 1. This marks the first time Millinocket has refueled at sea and the first time a JHSV has refueled in the Pacific Ocean. Millinocket is serving as the secondary platform for Pacific Partnership, led by an expeditionary command element from the Navy’s 30th Naval Construction Regiment (30 NCR) from Port Hueneme, Calif. Now in its 10th iteration, Pacific Partnership is the largest annual multilateral humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region. While training for crisis conditions, Pacific Partnership missions have provided medical care to approximately 270,000 patients and veterinary services to more than 38,000 animals. Additionally, PP15 has provided critical infrastructure development to host nations through the completion of more than 180 engineering projects.
