 Dozens of amphibious assault vehicles carry hundreds of Korean, Thai, and U.S. Marines ashore for a multilateral assault on a beach in Halyau, Thailand as part of Operation Cobra Gold 2012. Members of Bravo Company, battalion landing team 1-4, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, operate alongside their foreign counterparts in an effort to increase interoperability amongst allies. It's joint operations that we're not training them up on tactics or command and control or how to employ weapons systems. We're out here seeing if we can work together to execute an operation as a three company-wide mechanized assault onto a hostile beach if that would ever be necessary. The training helps the forces build camaraderie and bridge gaps in communication created by language barriers. Marine Sergeant Paul Robbins, Jr., Halyau, Thailand.
