9/3/2014 - JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii -- The
United States and Nepal will conduct humanitarian assistance operations
Sept. 8-13 as part of Operation Pacific Angel-Nepal.
Operation PACANGEL is a total force, joint and combined humanitarian
assistance operation led by Pacific Air Forces. PACANGEL 2014 includes
general health, dental, optometry, pediatrics, and engineering programs
as well as various subject-matter expert exchanges.
Approximately 65 U.S. military members, along with local
non-governmental organizations, and host nation military forces will
conduct humanitarian assistance operations throughout Nepal, as part of
this operation. PACANGEL enhances participating nations' humanitarian
assistance and disaster relief capabilities.
Officially in its seventh year, PACANGEL supports U.S. Pacific Command's
capacity-building efforts by partnering with other governments,
non-governmental agencies and multilateral militaries in their
respective region to provide medical, dental, optometry, and engineering
assistance to their citizens. The operation will be used to improve
and build relationships in the event of future humanitarian assistance
and disaster relief efforts. Since 2007, U.S. military members,
together with host nation military and civilian personnel throughout the
region, have improved the lives of tens of thousands of people through
PACANGEL operations.
