 Marines and sailors of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Union offload from landing craft in the Kingdom of Thailand. The unit is beginning exercise Cobra Gold 2012, a multi-week, multilateral training exercise that includes amphibious assaults, small boat raids, non-combatant evacuation, and many other capabilities of the 31st Navy. I think the Marines are looking forward the most to working with our Thai counterparts and US Army counterparts, kind of comparing how we do things and they do things. And we're going to be training them and they're going to be training us too, so some bilateral teaching going on. This event marks the 31st time Thai and US forces have conducted the Cobra Gold exercise. Marine Sergeant Paul Robbins, Jr. Hanyau, Thailand.
