1
00:00:01,740 --> 00:00:02,060
mhm 

2
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,700
mm . 

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:24,680
Final 

4
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,902
exercise , we're going against the near 

5
00:00:26,902 --> 00:00:28,902
Pier force . So we've got marines , 

6
00:00:28,902 --> 00:00:30,958
specifically our battalion , they're 

7
00:00:30,958 --> 00:00:33,180
coming from Chicago , Milwaukee Madison 

8
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:35,180
des Moines . Um they're not used to 

9
00:00:35,180 --> 00:00:37,480
this terrain and so really pushes them 

10
00:00:37,490 --> 00:00:39,657
out of their comfort zone and into the 

11
00:00:39,657 --> 00:00:41,879
mindset that they need to be when we're 

12
00:00:41,879 --> 00:00:45,780
fighting training is great 

13
00:00:45,790 --> 00:00:47,679
for the marines over here because 

14
00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:49,901
putting them in a mountain really takes 

15
00:00:49,901 --> 00:00:52,068
them out of their natural element that 

16
00:00:52,068 --> 00:00:54,179
they train on throughout the year and 

17
00:00:54,179 --> 00:00:53,690
puts them in an austere environment 

18
00:00:53,690 --> 00:00:57,420
that pushes their limits . So 

19
00:00:57,420 --> 00:00:59,531
logistically this was a new challenge 

20
00:00:59,531 --> 00:01:01,587
for us . Uh We were actually able to 

21
00:01:01,587 --> 00:01:04,540
use our animal packer course marines in 

22
00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:06,429
the mules that they have here and 

23
00:01:06,429 --> 00:01:08,651
implement them in our final exercise to 

24
00:01:08,651 --> 00:01:10,540
logistically support us up on the 

25
00:01:10,540 --> 00:01:12,762
mountain to be able to get our supplies 

26
00:01:12,762 --> 00:01:15,240
such as chow water . So what we do is 

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,407
we feed and water them up there on the 

28
00:01:17,407 --> 00:01:19,462
hill . So that means we have to find 

29
00:01:19,462 --> 00:01:21,518
water sources not only for ourselves 

30
00:01:21,518 --> 00:01:23,684
but for the animals and make sure that 

31
00:01:23,684 --> 00:01:25,820
we are supplementing ourselves with 

32
00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:27,590
those logistical resupplies . 

33
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:30,540
Yeah ,
