The United States Armed Forces are working together conducting concurrent Engineering, Medical events and Subject Matter Expert Exchanges in Quang Ngai and Quang Nam provinces, Vietnam from Aug. 20 -31, 2024 as part of Pacific Angel 24-3.

The Pacific Air Forces led exercise began with a joint opening ceremony in conjunction with Pacific Partnership 24-2, a Pacific Fleet humanitarian exercise where members from each nation and branch came together to provide their remarks.

“During this year’s Pacific Partnership and Pacific Angel mission, we highlight the enduring friendship that drives the U.S.-Vietnam relationship forward in disaster response, medicine, and education.” Said U.S. Consul General Susan Burns. “This progress is even more meaningful when we consider how our two countries overcome our shared past to build a brighter future for the next generation.”

This iteration of Pacific Angel takes a big step forward as it’s the first combined mission with Pacific Partnership, the U.S. Navy’s largest annual maritime humanitarian and civic assistance mission conducted in the Indo-Pacific.

Pacific Angel and Pacific Partnership mission teams will work alongside Allies and partners to strengthen relationships by promoting interoperability, bolstering host nation capacity to provide essential humanitarian services, and supporting efforts to prepare for, and respond to humanitarian disasters.

​The U.S. military continues to strengthen relationships with regional Allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific through operations such as Pacific Angel and Pacific Partnership to prepare for emergency situations and ultimately to preserve peace and stability throughout the region.
