 Members of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit's battalion landing team and amphibious reconnaissance platoon received jungle survival training from Royal Thai reconnaissance marines as part of Cobra Gold 2012. The training provides information on edible vegetation, fruits, vegetables and wildlife. The knowledge is valuable for operating in the Asia Pacific. For survival, jungle survival, if I needed to live off the land, say some kind of supply, resupply was lost, I would be able to live off the land to make do until I was able to get resupplied. During the classes, the marines were able to sample some of the jungle's more interesting meal choices and have a chance to get familiar with a few of its fellow predators.
