Airmen from the United States, Thailand and Singapore visited a local school as part of a combined civic action engagement during Exercise Cope Tiger 23, March 23.
Exercise Cope Tiger, now in its 27th iteration, is an annual exercise meant to improve readiness and the ability of participating forces to operate together while enhancing military relations and combined capabilities. The exercise will conclude March 31.
The Airmen took a break from their training during the exercise, which aims to enhance readiness, interoperability and combined capabilities with our allies and partners, to visit students at Nongpednam School in Korat, Thailand.
The Airmen were greeted with welcoming smiles from the students, staff and community members as they entered the school grounds to begin the day's activities.
The day's activities began when medical professionals from all three countries performed medical examinations, dental examinations and distributed eyeglasses to students, faculty and members of the local community.
"It's a blessing to have the opportunity to give back in a small way to the community that has hosted us so generously," said U.S. Air Force Capt. Andrew Carey, M.D., 36th Fighter Squadron flight surgeon. "The Thai people are truly some of the kindest and most hospitable people and the exercise and civic action engagement has been a great avenue to strengthen our ties."
