KAKINADA BEACH, India (Nov. 19, 2019) U.S. Marines currently under 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, and members of the Indian military wade to shore during exercise Tiger TRIUMPH on Kakinada Beach, India, Nov. 19, 2019. During Tiger TRIUMPH, U.S. and Indian forces conducted valuable training in humanitarian assistance disaster relief operations by inserting a joint and combined Indian and U.S. force from ship-to-shore in response to a hypothetical natural disaster. While onshore, the forces conducted limited patrolling, moved simulated victims to medical care and produced and distributed drinking water. Military exercises like Tiger TRIUMPH improve partnership, readiness and cooperation. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Christian Ayers)
