"Cope Tiger is a good opportunity for all participatns to learn new tactics," said Air Chief Marshal Chalit Pukbhasuk. "The benefits and experiences gained is undoubtedly invaluable."
One of the most important things is further strengthening relations between friendly nations, said Group Capt. Tawidanes Angsusingha, RTAF exercise director.
Cope Tiger enhances combined readiness and interoperability, reinforces U.S. commitment to the Southeast Asian region and demonstrates the U.S. capability to project combined and joint forces strategically in a multilateral environment.
