Cobra Gold
Cobra Gold 04
The Department of Defense announced on 21 April 2004 that the armed forces of Thailand, Singapore, Mongolia, Philippines and the United States will conduct exercise Cobra Gold 04 in Thailand May 13-27. Training will focus on improving interoperability between coalition forces conducting a United Nations-sponsored peace enforcement operation in conjunction with humanitarian and disaster relief operations. As in all previous Cobra Gold exercises, this exercise will include joint/combined land, sea and air operations.
More than 18,500 service members from the five countries will spent two weeks, following the kick off of Cobra GOld 04, conducting training and drills designed to strengthen bonds between the regional allies. In 2004, there was more on the exervice agenda than military maneuvers. A United Nations-sponsored peace enforcement mission in conjunction with humanitarian operations and diaster relief was a major focus.
