Pacific Angel 2010, this year’s iteration of Pacific Air Forces annual humanitarian-assistance exercise, concluded Monday in Tan Thoi, Vietnam. During the week-long event, more than 50 US military personnel, working alongside Vietnamese military members and officials with non-governmental and civil health organizations, refurbished and upgraded two medical clinics Tan Thoi and Truong Thanh.
