Since 2010, through USPACOM, MCIP has hosted Pacific Endeavor exercises that have brought together partner nation militaries and HADR experts from around the world to develop, test, and improve communication systems across the Pacific. MCIP has used APAN to promote humanitarian communication, for its planning workshops. The planning workshops assisted USPACOM partners and NGOs to plan communication procedures in the event of a natural disasters and to build partnerships. On August 19, 2014, part of an exercise performed through MCIP was for Nepalese amateur radio operators to report earthquake aftershocks to USPACOM using APAN. This practice proved successful as partners around the world knew how to communicate during the 2015 Nepal earthquake using the bulletin board established on APAN.
