"Any place. Any time. Anywhere." Right? Our phenomenal Air Commandos are part of the joint, emergency rescue response team in Thailand at this time. Approximately 40 members of the 353rd Special Operations Group deployed to provide specialized personnel recovery assistance as well as additional expertise. From our special tactics operators to the MC-130J aircrew to the entire support element on-scene, our Airmen have provided vital support to the rescue mission. We know our Air Commandos will stand by to find a way and further assist our Thailand partners. Check out our very own public affairs teammate Capt Jess Tait discussing the mission live with CNN:
