Thailand has mounted a huge security operation across coastal Chonburi as the USS Abraham Lincoln brings around 5,000 sailors and Marines ashore. About 3,000 are expected in Pattaya during the five-day visit after more than 200 days at sea and Middle East operations. Checkpoints guard Laem Chabang Port as Royal Thai Navy personnel, police and port security lock down access around the carrier. Pattaya has been carved into policing zones covering hotels, beaches, malls, nightlife districts and tourist attractions. Extra patrols, rapid-response teams and organised transport are deployed, while Koh Larn is watched by more than 280 CCTV and 42 AI facial-recognition cameras. US Navy rules put Soi 6, Soi 6/1, Soi 7, cannabis shops, certain pharmacies, jet skis and specified water activities off-limits. Meanwhile, Thai agencies are cracking down on street prostitution, protecting minors, policing taxi fares and overcharging, with Tourist Police on 24-hour standby.

Thai security agencies have mounted a five-day security operation across Chonburi for the USS Abraham Lincoln visit. The operation stretches from Laem Chabang Port through Pattaya and offshore to Koh Larn.

Around 5,000 American sailors and Marines are involved in the September 2-6 port call. Thai officials expect roughly 3,000 to visit or stay overnight in Pattaya.

Consequently, the security footprint reaches far beyond the carrier’s berth at Laem Chabang. It covers port entrances, transport routes, hotels, beaches, nightlife districts and major tourist areas. Offshore surveillance extends the operation further to Koh Larn. US Navy security teams are also enforcing separate restrictions on American personnel.

Laem Chabang opens security checkpoints as 5,000 US Navy personnel begin five-day Chonburi visit

At Laem Chabang, the tightest security surrounds the aircraft carrier and its restricted berth. Access to Terminal C0 at Laem Chabang International Ro-Ro Terminal is limited to authorised personnel.

Royal Thai Navy personnel are involved alongside port security, police and local agencies. Meanwhile, additional checkpoints are screening vehicles and people entering and leaving the wider port complex.

eputy Port Director Veerachat Phuttharaksa formally opened the checkpoint operation at 7 pm on September 2. The Laem Chabang Port Security Department is working directly with Laem Chabang Police Station. Officers are inspecting vehicles and screening people entering or leaving the area. They are also monitoring suspicious individuals, objects and unusual activity.

As part of this, officers have been instructed to conduct checks carefully and follow established procedures. Any unusual occurrence must be reported immediately through command channels. Relevant agencies must then coordinate their response. The arrangements remain active throughout the USS Abraham Lincoln’s stay.

The security plan began before the carrier reached Chonburi. Provincial officials held a preparatory meeting on August 28. That meeting examined measures required for the American carrier and its thousands of personnel. Mr Veerachat said the current measures follow the security guidelines agreed there.

In parallel, participating units were instructed to maintain continuous coordination. The objective is to keep the naval visit running safely and smoothly. Port security therefore forms only the innermost layer. From Laem Chabang, the operation expands south towards Pattaya.

The numbers make that expansion necessary. Around 5,000 sailors and Marines are connected with the visit. However, they are not expected to come ashore together. Thai officials estimate roughly 60% will visit or stay overnight in Pattaya. That produces a potential influx approaching 3,000 servicemen and women.

Long Middle East deployment brings thousands of US sailors ashore as Pattaya expands police coverage

Notably, the USS Abraham Lincoln arrived after an exceptionally long operational deployment. Its personnel had spent more than 200 days at sea. The carrier had also been involved in Middle East operations. Pattaya is therefore receiving thousands of personnel following a prolonged period offshore.

In response, Pattaya City Police have divided the resort into separate areas of responsibility. Officers are not being concentrated solely around Walking Street. Instead, coverage extends across locations where American personnel are expected to disperse. Those areas include hotels, restaurants, shopping centres, beaches and entertainment districts.

Additional patrols have been prepared around Pattaya Beach and major nightlife areas. Evening coverage has received particular attention. Large numbers of personnel are expected to enter entertainment districts after dark. Police are also maintaining rapid-response units for incidents requiring immediate intervention.

Separately, the operation involves far more than Pattaya City Police. Tourist Police are participating across the resort. Bang Lamung district officials are also involved. Pattaya municipal personnel and Chonburi provincial agencies form additional parts of the operation. Private businesses have also been incorporated into local security arrangements.

US Navy imposes separate Pattaya restrictions as Thai police maintain public order across the resort

US Navy security personnel provide another layer. American representatives joined Thai police and officials at Pattaya City Hall on August 31. That meeting coordinated arrangements before the sailors began arriving. As a result, two distinct security systems now overlap across the resort.

Thai agencies remain responsible for public order and law enforcement. By contrast, the US Navy controls the conduct of its personnel. It has imposed specific restrictions covering streets, businesses and recreational activities. Those measures apply to American personnel rather than ordinary Pattaya visitors.

Soi 6 has been declared off-limits to US military personnel. Soi 6/1 and Soi 7 are also prohibited. Cannabis shops have similarly been placed outside permitted areas. Certain pharmacies are restricted as well. Furthermore, jet skis and specified water activities are prohibited.

Walking Street remains available to the visiting personnel. However, US Navy rules require them to leave by 2 am. Pattaya City has stressed that these restrictions are American military orders. They are not Thai government closure orders. Therefore, affected businesses remain open to other customers.

Police target prostitution and protect minors as surveillance expands from Pattaya streets to Koh Larn

On another front, prostitution and protection of minors feature prominently in the preparations. Thai officials and US Navy representatives discussed both issues before shore leave began. Businesses were reminded that prostitution remains illegal. Officials also placed particular emphasis on protecting anyone younger than 18.

US Navy security personnel have briefed sailors and Marines on these restrictions. Ahead of the visit, policing of Pattaya’s street prostitution was also increased. The measures formed part of preparations for thousands of American personnel entering the resort. Nightlife security therefore became a major component of the wider operation.

At the same time, police have expanded surveillance beyond uniformed officers. Pattaya residents and businesses have been encouraged to act as community “sensors”. They have been asked to report suspicious behaviour or potential security problems. This creates a wider information network across areas frequented by the visitors.

Tourist Police services provide another reporting channel. The emergency number 1155 remains available around the clock. Visitors and residents can also use the Tourist Police application. Users can report incidents, request assistance and transmit their location directly to officers.

Beyond central Pattaya, the security footprint reaches Koh Larn. The island is an obvious daytime destination for personnel taking shore leave. More than 280 CCTV cameras already cover the island. In addition, 42 cameras have artificial-intelligence facial-recognition capabilities.

Organised transport moves US personnel into Pattaya as police spread security coverage across the city

That network gives officials extensive surveillance coverage away from the mainland resort. It also extends monitoring across another major tourism area. Thus, the operation runs from a restricted American aircraft carrier berth to an offshore holiday island.

Transport creates another major operational requirement. Thousands of sailors cannot simply emerge from Laem Chabang Port simultaneously. Instead, personnel are being moved towards Pattaya in organised groups. Buses have carried commanders and sailors towards hotels and designated recreation areas.

Along the routes, Thai officials have been positioned to assist those movements. Their role includes keeping traffic flowing and reducing disruption. Organised transport also provides greater control over the initial movement from the port. Once personnel reach Pattaya, however, they can disperse widely.

Some travel directly to hotels. Others head towards restaurants, shopping centres, beaches or nightlife areas. Accordingly, police cannot secure the visit through one concentrated deployment. Responsibility has instead been divided geographically across the city.

Commercial activity has also been brought within the official preparations. Several thousand visiting servicemen and women create a sudden increase in customers. Officials have therefore warned businesses against inflated prices. Taxi and transport fares have received particular attention.

Officials watch overcharging and currency services as police maintain security across Pattaya during visit

Service charges and other potential overcharging are also being watched. Businesses have been instructed to provide fair services and report problems. This adds a commercial dispute-prevention element to the wider policing effort. It also targets incidents that could quickly require police intervention.

Likewise, currency exchange has been incorporated into the arrangements. Mobile foreign-exchange facilities have been positioned near some accommodation areas. This allows personnel to exchange money without immediately searching elsewhere. It also reduces unnecessary movement immediately after organised transport reaches the resort.

Pattaya police chief Police Colonel Anek Srathongyoo has addressed the unusual circumstances surrounding the visit. The carrier’s personnel arrived after more than 200 days at sea. Their deployment included operations in the Middle East. The Pattaya stop now provides rest and recreation following that lengthy period.

Police Colonel Anek said residents should not be alarmed by the influx. The visit is intended to allow sailors and Marines to rest following their mission. Even so, police have maintained extensive security preparations across Pattaya. Those preparations extend well beyond the traditional entertainment districts.

No reliable overall manpower figure has been released for the Thai operation. The combined number of police, military and municipal personnel therefore remains unclear. Likewise, no overall figure has been published for US Navy security personnel. The number of participating organisations, however, demonstrates the breadth of the operation.

Thai police, navy and local agencies form layered security operation stretching across coastal Chonburi

Chonburi provincial officials sit within the wider coordination structure. Royal Thai Navy personnel are involved around Laem Chabang. Port security manages another part of the inner security zone. Laem Chabang Police Station works directly with those port officers.

Further south, Pattaya City Police cover the main resort. Tourist Police provide another security and visitor-assistance layer. Bang Lamung district officials are also participating. Pattaya City personnel and other provincial agencies form additional components.

Alongside them, private businesses have been brought into reporting arrangements. US Navy security teams focus directly on the American personnel. The result is a layered operation covering much of coastal Chonburi.

At its centre sits the USS Abraham Lincoln. The first security ring surrounds the carrier and its restricted berth. Another controls the entrances and exits at Laem Chabang Port. Checkpoints there screen vehicles, people and suspicious objects.

From there, another layer follows organised transport towards Pattaya. Police responsibility zones then spread across the resort. They encompass hotels, beaches, shopping centres, entertainment districts and tourist attractions. Finally, surveillance reaches offshore towards Koh Larn.

Security operation links carrier, port, transport routes and Pattaya as thousands take shore leave

In practical terms, the operation must handle several tasks simultaneously. It must protect the aircraft carrier and control access to the commercial port. It must also move thousands of military personnel towards Pattaya. Once there, police must maintain security across a sprawling tourism centre.

Moreover, officers must prepare for incidents across areas separated by considerable distances. Traffic movements must remain manageable. Commercial disputes must be contained. Tourist Police must remain accessible. US military restrictions must also operate alongside Thai law.

The sailors themselves remain free to move through permitted areas. That dispersal sharply widens the territory requiring police coverage. The operation is therefore not centred on one secure compound. Instead, it runs across the port, highways, resort districts and nearby island.

For five days, Laem Chabang and Pattaya are linked by organised movements of American military personnel. Security begins beside the USS Abraham Lincoln at Terminal C0. It then reaches newly established port checkpoints. From there, it follows transport routes towards Pattaya.

Inside the resort, the operation changes character. Port security gives way to urban policing, tourism management and nightlife coverage. Officers are spread across hotels, beaches, shopping areas and entertainment districts. Tourist Police provide additional support for visitors and residents.

Koh Larn surveillance and US Navy restrictions extend security network beyond Pattaya’s central districts

Offshore, Koh Larn adds another monitoring zone. Its extensive CCTV network gives officials coverage beyond Pattaya’s mainland streets. Meanwhile, businesses and residents provide another reporting layer through the community “sensors” system.

The US Navy’s restrictions add another dimension. Personnel cannot enter several well-known entertainment streets. Cannabis shops and certain pharmacies are also prohibited. Jet skis and specified water activities remain off-limits. Walking Street stays open, although personnel must leave by 2 am.

Against that background, Thai agencies are concentrating on public order and coordination. The port checkpoints are the most visible sign of those preparations. Yet they represent only one section of a far broader operation.

The planning began at provincial level on August 28. US Navy representatives later joined Pattaya officials on August 31. Additional port checkpoints opened on September 2. The security network then expanded as American personnel began moving through Chonburi.

Five-day operation handles 5,000 US personnel through layered security from Laem Chabang to Koh Larn

Around 5,000 sailors and Marines sit at the centre of those arrangements. Roughly 3,000 could visit or stay overnight in Pattaya. That movement places pressure on transport, policing, tourism services and nightlife areas simultaneously.

Accordingly, security has been built in layers rather than around a single location. Laem Chabang controls the carrier and port access. Transport arrangements manage the movement south. Pattaya police divide the resort into operating zones. Koh Larn surveillance extends the network offshore.

The USS Abraham Lincoln visit continues until Sunday, September 6. Until then, checkpoints, patrols, surveillance and coordinated response arrangements remain active. The security footprint runs from the carrier’s berth through Pattaya and across the water to Koh Larn.

在媒体、政治、泰国

随着美国海军“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰搭载约5000名水兵和海军陆战队员登陆，泰国在春武里府沿海地区展开了大规模安保行动。在经历了200多天的海上航行和中东行动后，预计约有3000名官兵将在芭堤雅进行为期五天的访问。在林查班港，泰国皇家海军人员、警察和港口安保人员严密封锁了航母周围的通道。芭堤雅被划分为多个警戒区，涵盖酒店、海滩、购物中心、夜生活区和旅游景点。泰国增派了巡逻人员、快速反应小组并部署了专门的交通工具，而格兰岛则安装了超过280个闭路电视摄像头和42个人工智能人脸识别摄像头进行监控。根据美国海军的规定，Soi 6、Soi 6/1、Soi 7巷、大麻商店、部分药店、水上摩托艇以及特定的水上活动均被禁止。与此同时，泰国相关机构正在严厉打击街头卖淫、保护未成年人、监管出租车车费和乱收费行为，旅游警察24小时待命。

林查班港副港务长维拉查·普塔拉克萨与林查班港警察共同启动严密安保措施，迎接5000名“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰水兵的到来，其中预计3000人将抵达芭堤雅。（来源：泰叻报）

为迎接“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰到访，泰国安全部门在春武里府展开为期五天的安保行动。行动范围从林查班港延伸至芭堤雅，并覆盖近海至格兰岛。

约有5000名美国海军水兵和海军陆战队员参与了9月2日至6日的港口访问。泰国官员预计约有3000人将参观芭堤雅或在当地过夜。

因此，安保范围远远超出航母在林查班港的泊位，涵盖港口入口、交通要道、酒店、海滩、夜生活区和主要旅游区。海上监视行动甚至将范围扩大到格兰岛。美国海军安保小组也对美国人员实施了单独的限制措施。

林查班港开放安全检查站，5000名美国海军人员开始为期五天的春武里府访问。

在林查班港，航空母舰及其专属泊位受到最严密的安保。只有授权人员才能进入林查班国际滚装码头C0航站楼。

泰国皇家海军人员与港口安保人员、警察和地方机构共同参与了此次行动。与此同时，增设的检查站正在对进出港口区域的车辆和人员进行筛查。

9月2日晚7点，港口副主任维拉查·普塔拉克萨正式启动了检查站运作。林查班港安保部门与林查班警察局直接合作。警员们正在检查车辆，并对进出该区域的人员进行筛查。他们还监控可疑人员、物品和异常活动。

为此，相关人员已接到指示，要认真检查并遵循既定程序。任何异常情况都必须立即通过指挥渠道上报。相关机构随后必须协调应对。这些安排在“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰停靠期间一直有效。

安保计划在航空公司抵达春武里府之前就已经启动。8月28日，府官员召开了一次筹备会议，讨论了为这家美国航空公司及其数千名员工制定的安保措施。维拉查特先生表示，目前的安保措施均遵循了会上商定的安全准则。

与此同时，各参战单位被指示保持持续协调。目标是确保海军访问安全顺利进行。因此，港口安保仅构成最内层防线。行动从林查班向南扩展至芭堤雅。

人数众多，因此扩大规模势在必行。约有5000名水兵和海军陆战队员参与此次访问。不过，预计他们不会同时上岸。泰国官员估计，其中约60%的人将前往芭堤雅参观或过夜。这将带来近3000名军人涌入泰国。

长期中东部署使数千名美国水兵上岸，芭堤雅扩大了警力覆盖范围

值得注意的是，“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰在结束了异常漫长的作战部署后抵达芭堤雅。舰上人员已在海上航行超过200天，并参与了中东地区的行动。因此，数千名人员在经历了长时间的海上部署后抵达了芭堤雅。

为此，芭堤雅市警方将度假区划分为多个责任区域。警力并非仅集中在步行街一带，而是覆盖了美军人员可能分散的各个区域，包括酒店、餐厅、购物中心、海滩和娱乐区。

芭堤雅海滩及主要夜生活区已增派巡逻警力，尤其重视夜间巡逻。预计天黑后将有大量警力进入娱乐区执勤。警方还配备了快速反应小组，以应对需要立即介入的突发事件。

此外，此次行动涉及的机构远不止芭堤雅市警察局。旅游警察也参与其中，覆盖整个度假区。邦拉蒙县的官员也参与其中。芭堤雅市政府人员和春武里府相关部门也加入了行动。一些私营企业也被纳入当地的安保安排。

美国海军在芭堤雅实施单独限制措施，泰国警方则在整个度假区维持公共秩序。

美国海军安保人员提供了另一道防线。8月31日，美国代表与泰国警方和官员齐聚芭堤雅市政厅。此次会议协调了水兵抵达前的各项安排。因此，目前度假村内两套独立的安保系统相互交织。

泰国相关机构仍负责维护公共秩序和执法。相比之下，美国海军则负责管理其人员的行为。美国海军对街道、商业场所和娱乐活动实施了具体限制。这些措施适用于美国人员，而非芭堤雅的普通游客。

Soi 6 已被划为美军人员禁区。Soi 6/1 和 Soi 7 也同样禁止进入。大麻商店也被划在了允许区域之外。部分药店的营业也受到限制。此外，水上摩托艇和某些水上活动也被禁止。

步行街仍对来访人员开放。但根据美国海军规定，他们必须在凌晨2点前离开。芭堤雅市政府强调，这些限制是美军的命令，并非泰国政府的关闭令。因此，受影响的商户仍对其他顾客开放。

警方打击卖淫活动并保护未成年人，监控范围从芭堤雅街头扩大到格兰岛

另一方面，打击卖淫和保护未成年人是准备工作的重点。泰国官员和美国海军代表在岸上休假开始前讨论了这两个问题。他们提醒商家，卖淫仍然是非法的。官员们还特别强调要保护所有18岁以下的未成年人。

美国海军安保人员已向水兵和海军陆战队员通报了这些限制措施。访问前，芭堤雅街头卖淫活动的管控力度也已加强。这些措施是为数千名美国人员进入度假胜地做准备的一部分。因此，夜生活安保成为此次行动的重要组成部分。

与此同时，警方已将监控范围扩大到制服警员以外的区域。芭堤雅居民和商家被鼓励充当社区“侦察员”，举报可疑行为或潜在的安全问题。这在游客经常出入的区域建立了一个更广泛的信息网络。

旅游警察服务提供另一条举报渠道。紧急电话1155全天候开通。游客和居民还可以使用旅游警察应用程序。用户可以举报事件、请求帮助并直接向警员发送位置信息。

除了芭堤雅市中心，安保范围还延伸至格兰岛。对于休假人员来说，格兰岛无疑是白天休闲的好去处。岛上已安装了超过280个监控摄像头，其中42个还配备了人工智能人脸识别功能。

有组织的交通工具将美军人员送入芭堤雅，警方则在全市范围内加强安保。

该网络使官员们能够对远离大陆度假胜地的区域进行广泛的监控。它还将监控范围扩展到另一个主要旅游区。因此，该行动的范围从一个限制进入的美国航空母舰泊位一直延伸到一个离岸度假岛屿。

运输是另一项重要的作战需求。数千名水兵不可能同时从林查班港出发。因此，人员被分批有组织地送往芭堤雅。大巴已将指挥官和水兵送往酒店和指定的休闲区域。

沿途已部署泰国官员协助人员流动。他们的职责包括维持交通畅通，减少交通中断。有组织的运输也有助于更好地控制从港口出发的初始流动。然而，一旦人员抵达芭堤雅，他们就可以分散行动。

有些人直接前往酒店，有些人则前往餐厅、购物中心、海滩或夜生活区。因此，警方无法通过集中部署警力来保障游客安全。警力部署已根据城市不同区域进行分散。

商业活动也被纳入官方筹备工作中。数千名返乡军人带来了客流量的激增。因此，官员们警告商家不得哄抬物价。出租车和公共交通票价尤其受到关注。

官员们密切关注过度收费和货币兑换服务，警方在芭堤雅访问期间维持治安。

服务费和其他潜在的过度收费行为也受到密切关注。商家已被要求提供公平的服务并报告问题。这在更广泛的警务工作中增加了预防商业纠纷的要素，同时也有助于识别可能需要警方迅速介入的事件。

同样，货币兑换也纳入了相关安排。一些住宿区附近设有移动外币兑换点。这样一来，工作人员无需立即前往其他地方兑换货币，也能减少抵达度假村后不必要的奔波。

芭堤雅警察局长阿内克·斯拉通尤警上校就此次访问的特殊情况作出了说明。该航母人员在海上航行200多天后抵达芭堤雅。他们的部署任务包括在中东地区执行任务。经过如此漫长的航程，此次芭堤雅停靠为他们提供了休息和娱乐的机会。

阿内克警官表示，居民不必对这波人流感到恐慌。此次访问旨在让海军和海军陆战队员在执行任务后得到休息。即便如此，警方仍在芭堤雅全城部署了严密的安保措施，这些措施的范围远远超出了传统的娱乐区。

目前尚未公布泰国行动的可靠总兵力数字。因此，警察、军队和市政人员的总人数仍然不明。同样，美国海军安保人员的总人数也未公布。然而，参与行动的机构数量表明了此次行动的规模。

泰国警方、海军和地方机构在春武里府沿海地区组成多层安全防线。

春武里府官员隶属于更广泛的协调体系。泰国皇家海军人员负责林查班港周边地区的安保工作。港口安保部门负责管理另一部分内部安全区域。林查班警察局与港口官员直接合作。

再往南，芭堤雅市警察局负责主要度假区的治安。旅游警察提供另一层安全保障和游客协助。邦拉蒙区官员也参与其中。芭堤雅市工作人员和其他省级机构也构成了额外的组成部分。

与此同时，私营企业也被纳入报告机制。美国海军安全小组则直接负责美国人员的安全。最终形成了一个覆盖春武里府大部分沿海地区的多层次安保行动。

中心区域停泊着“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰。第一道安全防线环绕着这艘航母及其专属泊位。另一道防线控制着林查班港的出入口。那里的检查站会对车辆、人员和可疑物品进行筛查。

从那里开始，另一层警戒线沿着有组织的交通路线延伸至芭堤雅。随后，警务责任区覆盖整个度假区，包括酒店、海滩、购物中心、娱乐区和旅游景点。最后，监控范围甚至延伸至近海的格兰岛。

数千人上岸休假，安保行动将承运商、港口、运输路线和芭堤雅联系起来。

实际上，这项行动必须同时处理多项任务。它既要保护航空母舰，又要控制商业港口的进出。此外，它还必须将数千名军事人员调往芭堤雅。抵达芭堤雅后，警方还必须维护这个庞大旅游中心的安全。

此外，警员必须做好应对跨区域突发事件的准备，这些区域相距甚远。交通必须保持畅通。商业纠纷必须得到控制。旅游警察必须保持联络畅通。美国军事限制措施也必须与泰国法律相协调。

水手们仍可在允许的区域内自由活动。这种分散行动极大地扩大了需要警方覆盖的区域。因此，此次行动并非集中在一个安全区域内，而是覆盖了港口、高速公路、度假区和附近岛屿。

五天来，林查班港和芭堤雅之间通过美军人员的有序调动连接起来。安保工作从C0航站楼的“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰旁开始，随后到达新建的港口检查站。之后，安保队伍沿着运输路线前往芭堤雅。

在度假区内，警务行动的性质发生了变化。港口安保让位于城市警务、旅游管理和夜生活场所安保。警员分散在酒店、海滩、购物区和娱乐区。旅游警察为游客和居民提供额外的支持。

格兰岛的监视和美国海军的限制措施将安全网络扩展到了芭堤雅中心城区以外。

在离岸的格兰岛，又增加了一个监控区域。其覆盖范围广泛的闭路电视网络使官员们能够将监控范围扩展到芭堤雅大陆街道以外的地方。与此同时，商家和居民通过社区“传感器”系统提供了另一层信息报告。

美国海军的限制又增加了一层限制。人员不得进入几条著名的娱乐街。大麻商店和某些药店也被禁止营业。水上摩托艇和特定的水上活动仍然禁止。步行街仍然开放，但人员必须在凌晨2点前离开。

在此背景下，泰国各机构正集中精力维护公共秩序和协调行动。港口检查站是这些准备工作最明显的体现。然而，它们仅仅是更广泛行动的一部分。

规划工作于 8 月 28 日在省一级启动。美国海军代表随后于 8 月 31 日与芭堤雅官员会面。9 月 2 日，新增港口检查站开放。随着美国人员开始在春武里府活动，安全网络也随之扩大。

为期五天的行动中，从林查班到格兰岛，5000名美军人员通过多层安保措施撤离。

大约5000名海军和海军陆战队员是这些安排的核心。其中约有3000人可能会到访芭堤雅或在芭堤雅过夜。这种人员流动同时给交通、治安、旅游服务和夜生活场所带来压力。

因此，安保措施并非围绕单一地点构建，而是采用多层防御。林查班控制着运输和港口出入。运输安排负责南下的运输。芭堤雅警方将度假区划分为若干行动区域。格兰岛的监控网络则延伸至近海。

“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰的访问将持续到9月6日星期日。在此之前，检查站、巡逻、监视和协同响应机制将继续运作。安保范围从航母泊位延伸至芭堤雅，并跨越水域到达格兰岛。
