    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are seated outdoors in a field, sharing and opening what appear to be MRE (Meal Ready-to-Eat) ration packages. The soldiers appear to be of Southeast Asian origin and are engaged in a relaxed meal break during what may be a training exercise. The mood appears lighthearted, with visible smiling among the group.

During the FTX, the Royal Thai Marines learned how U.S. Marines use their mortar weapons systems during live-fire mortar training. The Royal Thai Marines are with the 81mm Mortar Section, 3rd Battalion, 1st Infantry. U.S. Marines are with Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment.
