HAT YAO BEACH, Thailand – U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion 61 sits on Hat Yao Beach, Thailand after offloading armed equipment as USS Fort McHenry (LSD 43) and HTMS Sichang (LST 721) operate off the coast May 28 during the combined amphibious landing force exercise (CALFEX) May 28, as part of Cobra Gold 2002.  The CALFEX was the highlight of 14 days of training between the U.S. and Royal Thai Navies and Marine Corps, which all started May 14.  Cobra Gold is a joint/combined exercise and is the latest in a continuing series of U.S.-Thai military exercises designed to ensure regional peace and strengthen the ability of the Royal Thai armed forces to respond to regional contingencies.
