Sgt. Mark Hamett, a squad leader with India Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, sights in on fellow Co. I Marines as they approach the shore to conduct a mock jungle raid at Recon Beach here during Exercise Cobra Gold 2009, Feb.10. Hammett and other Marines from the company played the part of terrorist forces to provide a more realistic training opportunity for those conducting the raid. "The jungle raid allows us to implement our basic infantry skills [in a jungle environment], skills that may have been lost over the past few years by Marines focused on desert operations," said Sgt. Cody Alterman, a Co. I squad leader. "It was great training, allowing the Marines the opportunity to conduct jungle mobility and warfare skills in a realistic scenario." Cobra Gold '09 is a bilateral exercise focusing on military interoperability training and strengthening the long-standing partnership between the Royal Thai and U.S. Armed Forces.
