Eielson CE lends aid to PACANGEL

Airman 1st Class Thomas Zajac, 354th Civil Engineer Squadron, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, installs a new gutter with a Nepalese army soldier during U.S. Pacific Command's Operation Pacific Angel 12-4 in Nepal. Nepal army and U.S. Pacific Air Forces’ engineer team renovated and constructed buildings of the Machhapuchhre Higher Secondary School and health post of Dhikur Pokhari Village Development Committee. Pacific Angel is a Pacific Air Forces planned event that enhances humanitarian assistance and disaster relief capabilities between the United States and Pacific partners. The U.S. was invited by the Nepal government to provide support by conducting medical, optometry and civil engineering programs. Operations like Pacific Angel build and sustain relationships with multinational partners in the Asia-Pacific region. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Jeffrey Allen)
