A student of the Royal Thai Army prepares to jump during one of the four required airborne operations to graduate from the first Royal Thai Army all-female Basic Airborne Course conducted by the RTA Special Warfare School at Camp Erawan, Lop Buri, Thailand, Aug. 7, 2023. Nearly 100 female RTA soldiers from Airborne Class 345 earned their Parachutist Badge after completing four weeks of rigorous training to include four static line jumps, one with combat equipment and one at night. The course concluded with an 8k ruck march from the drop zone. The U.S. also participated in the historic jump by serving as airborne-qualified mentors. Our continued, face-to-face exchanges with our allies and partners are a foundation of a our bilateral relationships, and bolster understanding in the region that we are going to be a reliable partner in both good and bad times.
