Explanation:

The Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) was established through the Manila Pact signed on 8 September 1954, with its headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand. SEATO was officially dissolved on 30 June 1977.

Pakistan joined SEATO on 8 September 1954 to obtain collective security and military assistance from the United States and other Western allies—not specifically “help from the US Army.” Pakistan formally withdrew in 1973 because SEATO had failed to support it during its conflicts with India, particularly the 1965 and 1971 wars.
