Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jeremy Velarde, a combat engineer with Task Force Koa Moana 22, I Marine Expeditionary Force, secures wooden boards during the reconstruction of a pathway on Peleliu, Republic of Palau, July 27, 2022. The Marines and locals replaced the decaying stairs to provide visitors a safe passage to the Battle of Peleliu memorial at Umurbrogol Mountain, known as “Bloody Nose Ridge.” Exercises such as Task Force Koa Moana demonstrate commitment through routine operations that foster peace and security and develop relations with partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
