U.S. soldiers, sailors and airmen worked together with Mongolian Armed
Forces, Sri Lankan Forces and National Government Organization Project
Hope in providing health care in Delgerkhaan for two days. Their team
moves to a new location every two days to spread out their coverage in
the area, while a stationary team works out of a hospital in
Ondorkhan, Mongolia. This is the fourth year of Pacific Angel, but the first time the operation has been hosted in Mongolia. The operation helps cultivate common bonds and foster goodwill between the United States, Mongolia and other regional nations. In addition to veterinary training, a clinic is being refurbished and medical outreach events are being held in Ondorkhan, Delgerkhaan and
Tsenkhermandal soums of the Hentii province from July 18-23.
