English: U.S. Army Sgt. Brian Long, 3rd Battalion, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade CH-47F crew chief, looks out the window of a CH-47F Chinook as simulated casualties are moved to the aircraft for transportation during a humanitarian aid and disaster relief exercise (HA/DR) as part of the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise July 11, 2014, at Ford Island, Hawaii. The civilian, joint and coalition HA/DR effort stretched across 20 hospitals and five islands, where participants were tested on response, coordination and execution during a simulated Category 3 hurricane. Twenty-two nations, 49 ships, and six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 26 to Aug. 1 in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2014 is the 24th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Christopher Hubenthal)
