【Pattaya ramps up police forces in anticipation of U.S. military visit】 The U.S. Navy's "Lincoln" aircraft carrier, with its rust-stained fleet, has arrived at Pattaya, Thailand. The carrier needs rest, and so do the men and women on deck and below.
Beer is cold. Nights are long.
The pedestrian street is bustling with excitement, eagerly awaiting the arrival of robust American service members. Flags of Thailand and the United States are proudly displayed, along with neon signs advertising the "Lincoln," a passionate call to young soldiers to make Pattaya great again!
However, from morning on, Pattaya’s law enforcement has been on high alert. In addition to police, even military forces have been deployed to significantly increase patrols, preparing for the 5,000 U.S. servicemen arriving ashore for vacation.
Those with SLG patches on their sleeves are the shore patrol team (see Figure 5), ensuring the safety of sailors and marines, helping resolve any disputes, maintaining local order, and guaranteeing that the 5,000 personnel can relax and enjoy themselves over four days before departing happily.
This is the source of U.S. military strength.
Even the U.S. Defense Attaché at the American Embassy in Thailand personally met with Thai police to coordinate arrangements for port visits in Chonburi and Rayong provinces, ensuring the soldiers have a great time while leaving a positive impression on the local community.
