来自美国太平洋陆军和中华人民共和国人民解放军的士兵于11月13日至18日在中国南京参加了一次灾害管理交流（DME）。这是人民解放军和美国太平洋陆军之间第十四次进行这一交流。

DME是美国太平洋陆军-人民解放军（USARPAC-PLA）的一项年度减少灾害风险活动，它强调美国和中国着手应对这一地区的人道主义援助和灾害救援挑战的决心。

2018DME的关注重点是：假设某一第三国发生一起破坏性地震之后的国际灾害救援情景。

Soldiers from U.S. Army Pacific and the People’s Republic of China People’s Liberation Army participated in a Disaster Management Exchange in Nanjing, China from Nov. 13-18. 

This is the 14th iteration of this exchange between the PLA and U.S. Army Pacific. The DME is an annual USARPAC-PLA disaster risk reduction event, which underscores the commitment of both the U.S. and the PRC to address Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief challenges across the region. 

The 2018 DME focused on an international disaster relief scenario following a hypothetical devastating earthquake in a third country.
