00:11.140 --> 00:13.140
troops from charlie company , third

00:13.140 --> 00:15.450
platoon test fire 50 cals before

00:15.450 --> 00:17.172
heading out on a mission . The

00:17.172 --> 00:19.339
objective is to get to know the people

00:19.339 --> 00:21.506
and not come off as threatening to the

00:21.506 --> 00:23.900
people um for the leaders to get to

00:23.900 --> 00:26.180
know the key leaders and and understand

00:26.180 --> 00:28.291
what the situation , their issues and

00:28.291 --> 00:30.402
concerns of their villages are . Make

00:30.402 --> 00:32.624
sure any and or alternative . So that's

00:32.624 --> 00:34.736
two understanding local issues relies

00:34.736 --> 00:36.847
heavily on interacting with villagers

00:36.847 --> 00:38.791
coming into post mobilization . We

00:38.791 --> 00:40.847
trained for that pretty heavily . It

00:40.847 --> 00:40.630
was something new to our instrument .

00:40.640 --> 00:42.807
We hadn't done the coin fight before .

00:42.807 --> 00:44.862
Today's conversation is focused on a

00:44.862 --> 00:46.862
civilian semi truck that was set on

00:46.862 --> 00:48.696
fire . Villagers heard about the

00:48.696 --> 00:50.362
incident , but don't have any

00:50.362 --> 00:52.584
information . I would like to come back

00:52.584 --> 00:54.584
and visit with you and sit down and

00:54.584 --> 00:56.696
drink tea and talk to and get to know

00:56.696 --> 00:56.490
you a little bit too . Before leaving ,

00:56.490 --> 00:58.712
Lieutenant Boesen makes a point to give

00:58.712 --> 01:00.768
