Marines and Seabees with Task Force Koa Moana weld trusses at sea, aboard USNS Sacagawea (T-AKE 2), June 7-31, 2016, to prepare for vertical construction training in Fiji, as part of their deployment in the Asia-Pacific region.

Although their lifestyle conditions may not reflect the liberties a normal American can expect on a daily basis, they contribute to a unique and productive culture that has demonstrated its potency for completing missions, particularly in the shadow of their upcoming deployment to Operation Enduring Freedom. The platoon spent fourteen days in the field tasked with a series of construction projects meant to test their proficiency and to ultimately improve the training areas at Twentynine Palms, Calif., May 11 to 24.
