The United States Marines and their Royal Thai Armed Forces counterparts participate in a joint military exercise in Thailand. The exercise, named Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training, or CARAT, is designed to strengthen interoperability and partner-nation capabilities for the planning and execution of military operations, and advance regional security operations in Southeast Asia.
