 U.S., Bangladesh kick off Pacific Angel mission By 1st Lt. Chris Hoyler
                51st Fighter Wing Public Affairs
 JESSORE, Bangladesh - More than 55  servicemembers from the active-duty, Air Guard and Reserve components arrived  here June 10 to begin preparation for the third iteration of Operation Pacific  Angel, a U.S. and Bangladesh humanitarian operation scheduled here through June  16. Operation Pacific Angel is a joint and combined  humanitarian assistance operation conducted in the Pacific area of  responsibility to support U.S. Pacific Command's capacity-building efforts.  This humanitarian and civic assistance program is aimed at improving military  civic cooperation between the United States and countries throughout the  Asia-Pacific region. "Our U.S. joint team is very excited to build a  long-lasting relationship with the Bangladesh air force and the entire nation  through these civic assistance programs," said Lt. Col. Scott Long, the  Pacific Angel mission commander from 13th Air Force at Joint Base Pearl  Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. "The Pacific Angel 10-3 mission will consist of  several concurrent civil-military assistance activities, in addition to medical  care for local citizens, and engineering projects for a local school. We'll  also conduct medical subject-matter expert exchanges to improve the knowledge  and processes for U.S. and Bangladesh military personnel." A Hawaii Air National Guard KC-135 Stratotanker arrived  at Dhaka International Airport, Bangladesh, with civil engineers and medical  officials including doctors, dentists, optometrists, primary care and women's  health specialists and subject-matter experts in the fields of hospital  administration and neonatology. The U.S. military, the Bangladesh air force, the  nongovernmental Smiling Sun Clinic and the local healthcare community here will  work together during the mission. Operation Pacific Angel missions were previously  conducted in the Philippines in February and Vietnam in May. The final  iteration will take place in Sri Lanka in August. The U.S. and Bangladesh militaries have a long history of  working in partnership for humanitarian assistance and medical training, and  have also conducted air, land and sea exercises.
