Col Larry Redmon, ex-Army Attache at the United States (US) Embassy in Bangkok, who retired from the military position last month, had played a big role in strengthening Thai-US military cooperation while in Thailand. WASSANA NANUAM talked to him about his experiences.
American Green Beret and soldier Col Redmon was first deployed to Thailand 35 years ago for a mission with the Royal Thai Army (RTA) Special Force Soldiers, then later as an exchange officer attending the Thai Army Command and Staff College Class 77.
The Royal Cambodia Armed Force (RCAF) commander-in-chief General Vong Pisen and outgoing US Defense and Army Attache Colonel Marcus Ferrara expressed hopes that Cambodia-US military relations will ‘remain good’.
