1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:04,940 --> 00:00:08,940 Yeah the focus of today 3 00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:11,450 is to conduct basic airborne operations 4 00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:14,630 right ? To develop currency and 5 00:00:14,630 --> 00:00:16,741 proficiency amongst all the qualified 6 00:00:16,741 --> 00:00:19,450 marines . Um Number one , number two is 7 00:00:19,450 --> 00:00:21,561 to uh is to build a relationship with 8 00:00:21,561 --> 00:00:23,728 our active duty component . So we have 9 00:00:23,728 --> 00:00:25,894 some elements here for Sancho that's a 10 00:00:25,894 --> 00:00:28,006 relationship that we want to foster . 11 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,670 Yeah . And then ultimately we have 12 00:00:31,670 --> 00:00:33,837 fourth mall who's doing the flying for 13 00:00:33,837 --> 00:00:35,892 us for both aircraft , both types of 14 00:00:35,892 --> 00:00:37,781 model series and so it gives us a 15 00:00:37,781 --> 00:00:37,110 chance to integrate and coordinate with 16 00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:41,000 them and work with them . The reserve 17 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,222 and close the three reserve ankle being 18 00:00:43,222 --> 00:00:45,930 3rd , 4th and six are the only echoes 19 00:00:45,940 --> 00:00:48,107 in the Marine Corps that actually have 20 00:00:48,107 --> 00:00:51,080 a assigned mission of maintaining 21 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,470 airborne capabilities . But what that 22 00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:56,370 enables us to do is that allows us to 23 00:00:56,380 --> 00:00:59,940 work with our partner nations , other 24 00:00:59,940 --> 00:01:03,330 services , allies and 25 00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:07,140 provide our fires expertise , Support 26 00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:09,930 to those units within those countries 27 00:01:09,930 --> 00:01:12,152 or other services that have an airborne 28 00:01:12,152 --> 00:01:14,097 mission . Right ? So if the Marine 29 00:01:14,097 --> 00:01:16,810 Corps wants Mexico to operate with the 30 00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:19,170 82nd airborne for example , we would be 31 00:01:19,170 --> 00:01:21,337 a great candidates for that because we 32 00:01:21,337 --> 00:01:23,392 actually have the jump mission so we 33 00:01:23,392 --> 00:01:25,503 would be capable of jumping with them 34 00:01:25,503 --> 00:01:27,503 and that's a unique mission set and 35 00:01:27,503 --> 00:01:29,614 then that doesn't exist anywhere else 36 00:01:29,614 --> 00:01:31,503 in the Marine Corps and it's very 37 00:01:31,503 --> 00:01:33,837 uncommon . I would say across the D . O . 38 00:01:33,837 --> 00:01:35,250 D as a whole 39 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,707 variety of training is key to 40 00:01:43,707 --> 00:01:45,873 everything . If you know how it's done 41 00:01:45,873 --> 00:01:47,929 during the day . Close your eyes and 42 00:01:47,929 --> 00:01:50,700 try to do it , it becomes inherently 43 00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:52,932 much harder to do . And the only way we 44 00:01:52,932 --> 00:01:54,900 can overcome that difficulty is by 45 00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:57,190 continuing to train . We must be 46 00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:59,650 aggressive , we must be consistent and 47 00:01:59,650 --> 00:02:01,706 we must be more than proficient . We 48 00:02:01,706 --> 00:02:03,928 must be masters at what we do . And the 49 00:02:03,928 --> 00:02:05,761 only way we're gonna do it is by 50 00:02:05,761 --> 00:02:05,550 creating harder training . 51 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,407 I think honestly what attracted me the 52 00:02:13,407 --> 00:02:15,129 most about being anglican as a 53 00:02:15,129 --> 00:02:17,296 diversity , I had never been to a unit 54 00:02:17,296 --> 00:02:19,351 where so many different capabilities 55 00:02:19,351 --> 00:02:21,518 were still trying to do the exact same 56 00:02:21,518 --> 00:02:23,740 thing . Airborne capabilities have been 57 00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:25,907 a huge important tasks since I've been 58 00:02:25,907 --> 00:02:28,018 here , making sure that we had a good 59 00:02:28,018 --> 00:02:30,184 parachuting program , making sure that 60 00:02:30,184 --> 00:02:32,407 we had a good hearse program and making 61 00:02:32,407 --> 00:02:31,970 sure that the J . F . O . S . And the J . 62 00:02:31,970 --> 00:02:33,748 Tax for getting the appropriate 63 00:02:33,748 --> 00:02:35,803 training . But it all boiled down to 64 00:02:35,803 --> 00:02:38,026 the same thing being able to seamlessly 65 00:02:38,026 --> 00:02:40,026 insert with other units and support 66 00:02:40,026 --> 00:02:41,060 them appropriately .
