00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,860
mm hmm . 

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,720
Whether 

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,130
it's a 5810 man team as long as they 

5
00:00:16,130 --> 00:00:18,352
got a radio and we can hail them on the 

6
00:00:18,352 --> 00:00:20,408
right frequency , we can show up and 

7
00:00:20,408 --> 00:00:22,630
conduct close air support for them . Mm 

8
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:26,230
hmm . My name is Major Andrew wing , 

9
00:00:26,270 --> 00:00:30,220
my callsigns Hammer and I am a H one Z . 

10
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:32,220
Cobra pilot and I'm currently the 

11
00:00:32,230 --> 00:00:35,960
operations officer at H M L A 7 75 . 

12
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:40,640
The benefits that we get from this 

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,751
training specifically , it enables us 

14
00:00:42,751 --> 00:00:44,973
to employ ordinance that we aren't able 

15
00:00:44,973 --> 00:00:46,696
to employ all the time at Camp 

16
00:00:46,696 --> 00:00:49,530
Pendleton . Yes , Okay . 

17
00:00:50,540 --> 00:00:52,651
The work that we do here supports the 

18
00:00:52,651 --> 00:00:54,873
ground combat element or G . C . E . By 

19
00:00:54,873 --> 00:00:57,190
ensuring that we are well equipped to 

20
00:00:57,190 --> 00:00:59,357
go out and conduct close air support . 

21
00:00:59,357 --> 00:01:01,468
Should it be required in any tactical 

22
00:01:01,468 --> 00:01:02,468
scenarios ? 

23
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,710
Close air support is arguably the bread 

24
00:01:07,710 --> 00:01:09,488
and butter of the H M . L . A . 

25
00:01:09,488 --> 00:01:11,488
Although we have a range of mission 

26
00:01:11,488 --> 00:01:13,654
essential tasks . The ranges here just 

27
00:01:13,654 --> 00:01:16,700
north of El centro are well set up to 

28
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:19,850
conduct that Close air support training . 

29
00:01:25,290 --> 00:01:27,940
This training event enables us to kind 

30
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:29,940
of flex the muscles of our scenario 

31
00:01:29,940 --> 00:01:32,180
development and put ourselves in some 

32
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,280
intentionally uncomfortable mission 

33
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,336
sets that we have to be creative and 

34
00:01:36,336 --> 00:01:38,447
conduct a mission that might be a bit 

35
00:01:38,447 --> 00:01:40,760
more dynamic than once that we normally 

36
00:01:40,770 --> 00:01:41,770
get to train on . 

37
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,820
Mm hmm . My favorite part of the 

38
00:01:48,820 --> 00:01:50,876
training is just getting such a good 

39
00:01:50,876 --> 00:01:52,987
group of people that combines a range 

40
00:01:52,987 --> 00:01:55,420
of active duty active reserve personnel . 

41
00:01:55,420 --> 00:01:58,460
It allows us to take 775 at its best , 

42
00:01:58,470 --> 00:02:00,910
combining those different marines who 

43
00:02:00,910 --> 00:02:03,180
make up our unit . That enables us to 

44
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:05,410
demonstrate the most valuable 

45
00:02:05,530 --> 00:02:07,360
employment of a reserve unit .
