Sgt. Gabriel Pierce, a 68W Combat Medic assigned to the 1984th U.S. Army Hospital-Pacific, conducts a vision screening on a Papua New Guinea civilian during a medical engagement in Lae, Papua New Guinea, July 21, 2026. Vision screenings help identify potential eye conditions and assess visual health while expanding access to essential healthcare services during Exercise Tamiok Strike 26. The U.S. Army Pacific-led bilateral exercise, conducted with the Papua New Guinea Defence Force, strengthens interoperability, readiness, and military-to-military relationships through joint training, engineering, medical, and leader engagements. The exercise demonstrates the enduring commitment between the United States and Papua New Guinea while enhancing the ability of both forces to respond to regional security and humanitarian challenges across the Indo-Pacific.
