During the project, U.S. Navy Seabees assigned to Amphibious Construction Battalion (ACB) 1, alongside engineers from the Timor-Leste Defence Force, renovated an exterior school building and added a new water tank, increasing the school’s capacity to accommodate students and improving its facilities. Now in its 22nd iteration, the Pacific Partnership series is the largest annual multinational humanitarian assistance and disaster management preparedness mission conducted in the region. Pacific Partnership works collaboratively with host and partner nations to enhance regional interoperability and disaster response capabilities, increase security in the region, and foster new and enduring friendships in the Indo-Pacific.
