U.S. Indo-Pacific Command military personnel work alongside Thai military and first responders near the collapsed State Audit Office building in Bangkok, which fell after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake affected Thailand and its neighboring countries on March 28, 2025. The U.S. military contingent included specialized search and rescue personnel from the U.S Army and U.S. Air Force who possess extensive rescue expertise, two unmanned aircraft systems with thermal detection capability, and U.S. Army Engineers and U.S. Navy Seabees with expertise in structural security.
