Summary
An aircraft handler with the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) signals to the pilot of a CH-46E Sea Knight helicopter with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 364 to land on the flight deck of the ship, Aug. 24, 2014. Four helicopters with the squadron arrived aboard America ending the exercise Partnership of the Americas 2014. POA was based on a simulated humanitarian assistance and disaster relief scenario in Chile. Multiple nations came together to plan and execute a multi-lateral exercise in response to the HA/DR scenario. Exercises like POA allow the U.S. and our partners in the region to respond to and address transnational and global challenges. America is currently transiting through the U.S. Southern Command’s area of responsibility on her maiden transit “America Visits the Americas.” (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Cpl.
