PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP
06 August 2010 Commander Australian Fleet, Rear Admiral Gilmore AM CSC RAN, took the opportunity whilst in Indonesia for an international maritime conference to visit HMA Ships Labuan and Tarakan as well as 25 ADF personnel onboard USNS Mercy for Pacific Partnership 2010. The PP10 visit to Indonesia is a two-phase disaster relief exercise which commenced in Jakarta in November 2009. A table-top exercise scenario dealing with a natural disaster in the region was the first phase during which the multi-national team discussed plans to effectively employ USNS Mercy, Indonesian Navy Ship KRI Dr. Soeharso and other ships from the international community, including HMA Ships Labuan and Tarakan. The PP10 mission marks the fifth year of Australian support, and will provide engineering and medical assistance in Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea |
