原文：

The annual multilateral exercise Cobra Gold kicked off Feb. 25 in Thailand. Since its inception, Cobra Gold has been a Thailand- and U.S.-sponsored Combined Joint Task Force and Joint Theater Security Cooperation exercise. The USS America (LHA-6) and the USS Green Bay (LPD 20) amphibious assault ships carrying the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), including F-35B aircraft, pulled into the Gulf of Thailand for this year's drill.

While in Thailand, the Marines of the 31st MEU and sailors from both ships engaged the Royal Thai armed forces for planning in various interoperability events such as bilateral command and control, humanitarian assistance, and field training exercises to include amphibious landings and infantry integration.
