This was the second draft of MICA and the first in northern Thailand conducted during exercise Cope Tiger 2007. Addressing Tiger is one of the annual Thai-US joint exercises that are generally described as “war games” but in reality, are joint missions of training and humanitarian assistance.
According to the Royal Thai Air Force captain Mathini Piyaamornmatha, people here have no chance of receiving medications because they are in the country far from the city and have no money.
“Today, they see the United States is friendly, and have the opportunity to obtain the medicine,” said Captain Piyaamornmatha.
Not only students and local communities to obtain the drugs, were treated for foot massage, haircut, a concert by members of the 23th Wing of the Royal Thai Air Force and a demonstration of tarkaw (a cross between volleyball and calcium). Amid all the festivities, teams of medical units of U. S. Air Force in Japan performed dental and eye exams.
“We have the opportunity to adopt a baby in pain, giving them the opportunity to focus on learning,” said Captain Alan Neal of the regiment 35 dental Misawa Air Base in Japan.
Captain Neal said this event is not only draw the teeth or control, is a two-swapping.
“This is a relationship of trust,” said Captain Neal.
“It ‘a chance for Thais to have a direct experience on what kind of people in the U.S. military,” said Senior Airman Joseph Reed, a satellite technician with the 18th Communications Squadron at Kadena AB, Japan. “Fortunately, they know that people from other parts of the world, care for them and their future.”
“Who knows? Our visit would encourage them to become dentists or expand their training,” added Captain Neal.
“It ‘been a revealing experience,” said Senior Airman Hilary Easkin, a dental assistant from the 35th Regiment dental Misawa AB. “I left with an appreciation for our work and our ability to help these people. They were very grateful for our help and we thank them for their hospitality and the chance to help.”
Lieutenant Colonel Michael Akiona, commander of the 13th Air Expeditionary Group, KC-135 detachment commander, said that donations given to the school are all signs of friendship between Thailand and the United States.
“We are anxious to meet Tiger to renew our friendship,” he said.
