    ARAWA, Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea (June 30, 2015) Murial Bankini (center right) demonstrates how to dress a wound after nurses and corpsmen from USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) presented a class on first aid and disaster preparedness. The class given at the Arawa Women's Center Lodge covered multiple areas, including CPR, basic wound care and how to prepare for a disaster individually and as a community. Mercy is at its second mission port for Pacific Partnership 2015. Pacific Partnership is in its 10th iteration and 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 to date have provided real world medical care to approximately 270,000 patients and veterinary services to more than 38,000 animals. Additionally, the mission has provided critical infrastructure development to host nations through more than 180 engineering projects. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Valerie Eppler/RELEASED)
