    Two military personnel from different armed forces are collaborating on a rope or cord task outdoors. One soldier wears a U.S. Army uniform with the name tape 'SCHAFER' and OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) fatigues, while the other wears what appears to be People's Liberation Army (PLA) digital camouflage uniform with rank insignia. Both are focused on handling a dark rope or cord, suggesting a joint training exercise.

    West Point Cadet Thomas Schafer, a Chinese language major, learns how Soldiers in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) tie square knots from PLA Sgt. Geng during the 13th annual U.S.-China Disaster Management Exchange (DME) that took place at the Oregon National Guard’s Camp Rilea Armed Forces Training Center, November 16-19, 2017, in Warrenton, Ore. U.S. Army Pacific hosts the exchange with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) every year to foster mutual trust and understanding while sharing lessons learned to increase disaster response in the Pacific region. This year marked first time U.S. Military Academy West Point cadets participated in the event. (Photo by Sgt. Tyler Meister, 115th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment)
