U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Christopher M. Andrews, lead medical surgeon for Exercise Cobra Gold 2012, met with Royal Thai Army Capt. Jakkrapong Khruacharoem, an emergency surgeon at Fort Suranaree Hospital, Feb. 2 and discussed, through an interpreter, where U.S. troops stationed at Camp Suranaree could be taken in case a medical emergency. After arriving in the area, U.S. Navy medical personnel toured local hospitals that agreed to accept the military’s TRICARE insurance program to ensure they met medical standards. Cobra Gold is an annual Thai and U.S. co-sponsored joint and multinational exercise that includes forces from Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Republic of Korea and Malaysia.
