JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii -- The U.S. will deploy a U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Medical Support and health response team to Subang Air Base, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to promote interoperability of regional military, interagency and civilian emergency response and disaster management experts as part of Pacific Angel 22-2, Aug.15-19.

The operation will focus on capacity building through HSO and the SME exchanges will cover C-130J maintenance, aeromedical evacuation, adverse terrain operations, incident assessment and scene management, entrapment and extrication, swift-water and flood recovery, jungle survival, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief airfield operations, air base defense, band operations, and chaplain support.
