PADANG, Indonesia (Aug. 27, 2016) Col. Pom Widhy Sutedjo, of the Tentara Nasional Indonesian Army (left), Capt. Tom Williams, Pacific Partnership 2016 mission commander (center), and Col. Pub I Putu Gede Suartika, of the Tentara Nasional Indonesia Army, cut a ribbon to commemorate the completion of a new evacuation road in Padang. The evacuation road is a new concrete road built by TNI engineers and U.S. Navy Seabees to provide members of the community a safe route to evacuate if a disaster were to strike. This is the fifth time Pacific Partnership has visited Indonesia. Partner nations are working side-by-side with local organizations during disaster response training, civil engineering projects, Women, Peace, and Security seminars, medical subject matter expert exchanges and a live field training exercise aimed at improving the capacity of local government, civilian agencies and partner militaries to collectively respond in crisis.
