U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Christian Hanna, a data systems administrator assigned to15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, I Marine Expeditionary Force, reviews tactical data on a cell phone running the Tactical Assault/Team Awareness Kit (TAK) outside the Exercise Cobra Gold 2026 Combined Joint Force Maritime Coordination Center, Royal Thai Marine Corps Base Camp Jessada, Chonburi, Thailand, March 2, 2026. TAK feeds real time positional and sensor information into the coalition common operating picture, giving commanders a clearer understanding of friendly locations, emerging threats, and unfolding activity across the littorals. U.S. Indo Pacific Command’s J7 Pacific Multi Domain Training and Experimentation Capability ensured that TAK inputs were fused with other mission systems, enabling faster, more confident decision making across command levels during the exercise. Cobra Gold is the Indo-Pacific’s largest annual military exercise in mainland Asia, co-hosted by the U.S. and Thailand. The exercise brings together participants from multiple nations for military training and humanitarian projects that strengthen regional partnerships and demonstrate U.S. commitment to Indo-Pacific security.
