Correspondingly in 2006 the US spearhead the inaugural Pacific Partnership mission and since then has evolved from a mission focused on direct assistance, to one that emphasizes regional resiliency, interoperability and security through disaster risk reduction engagement activities. For this, various programmes are carried out and Community Health Engagement holds an important role to bring about the best of civilian-military cooperation in preparation for any HADR efforts in Malaysia and the Indo-Pacific region in general. 2019 marks the 14th year of Pacific Partnership and the 4th year of Malaysia's participation. This study intends to give an overview of the Community Health Engagements conducted during this mission and its outcome in the Malaysian Armed Forces perspective.
