ROXAS CITY, Philippines (July 19, 2015) Tom Larsen, a merchant mariner, helps a girl safely disembark from a tender boat aboard the hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) during Pacific Partnership 2015. Patients are being provided care aboard the ship by military medical personnel and the non-governmental organization Operation Smile, which specializes in cleft pallet and lip procedures. Mercy is currently in the Republic of the Philippines for its third mission port for PP15. Pacific Partnership is in its tenth 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)
