150721-M-GO800-091 HONIARA, Guadalcanal (July 21, 2015) – Lance Cpl. Clayton Grose paints the edges of a plaque at the memorial to the Solomon Coast Watchers July 21. Marines served alongside the Coast Watchers during the battle of Guadalcanal in which they provided essential information to defeating the Japanese forces on the island. Marines attached to the Military Sealift Command joint high speed vessel USNS Millinocket (JHSV 3) gathered to honor the history between the two groups by repainting the memorial. 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, California. 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 service to more than 38,000 animals. Additionally, Pacific Partnership has provided critical infrastructure development to host nations through the completion of more than 180 engineering products.
