Cope Tiger 2007, a multilateral exercise between the Royal Thai, the Republic of Singapore and U.S. Air Forces, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps, ran from Jan. 29 to Feb. 9 at Korat and Udon Air Bases, Thailand. The exercise included large force employment, air defense and trilateral civic assistance programs. "Cope Tiger offered us a chance to continue to build on military to military relationships with Thailand and Singapore," said Lt. Col. Irvin Higa, White Horse Exercise Intel control officer. "Cope Tiger 2007 was a resounding success. Despite the many challenges we faced during the planning process, the U.S., Thailand, and Singapore forces demonstrated outstanding professionalism and dedication, safely executing over 1,250 sorties," said Col. Vincent Farrell, U.S. Exercise Director. "The exercise provided realistic combat training, which improves our combined joint interoperability and promotes the already strong relations between our three countries."
