211109-N-AU520-2188 PACIFIC OCEAN (Nov. 9, 2021) Joseph Pennel, Military Sealift Command (MSC) hospital ship USNS Mercy’s (T-AH 19) third mate, conducts small boat and rescue craft operations while underway during Mercy Exercise (MERCEX) 22-1 Nov. 9. MERCEX 22-1 is a three-week-long pierside and underway training evolution that highlights integration, training and camaraderie between MSC civilian mariners and Medical Treatment Facility Sailors. Mercy can steam to assist anywhere to provide relief as a symbol of Navy Medicine’s abilities around the world, and must be in a five-day-activation status in order to support missions over the horizon, and be ready, reliable and resilient to support mission commanders.
