celebrities drink tiger blood to be

00:12.170 --> 00:14.250
winners while service members drink

00:14.260 --> 00:16.570
cobra blood to be survivors . That's

00:16.570 --> 00:18.626
exactly why U . S . Army and U . S .

00:18.626 --> 00:20.737
Marines are here at fort Knox . I see

00:20.737 --> 00:22.959
learning wilderness survival techniques

00:22.959 --> 00:25.126
during the balikatan exercise . In the

00:25.126 --> 00:27.181
republic of the Philippines , course

00:27.181 --> 00:29.014
instructor Philippine Army staff

00:29.014 --> 00:31.126
Sergeant Romeo Soriano describes what

00:31.126 --> 00:32.459
he teaches in his class

00:35.340 --> 00:38.190
Uh for the one and trap a booby trap

00:38.190 --> 00:41.710
novels . Uh it's like trap

00:41.720 --> 00:45.160

01:04.130 --> 01:07.710
No no no tina phenomenon he held

01:07.710 --> 01:11.710
along . Then there's no

01:11.710 --> 01:13.710
argument that survival training can

01:13.710 --> 01:15.599
save your life . But U . S . Army

01:15.599 --> 01:17.599
Sergeant Andrew Gamble explains how

01:17.599 --> 01:19.710
survival knowledge translates to good

01:19.710 --> 01:23.360
leadership when we get out there and uh

01:23.370 --> 01:25.481
I've actually got an understanding of

01:25.481 --> 01:27.703
what to do in a situation where we need

01:27.703 --> 01:29.870
to survive , then I'll be able to take

01:29.870 --> 01:32.092
care of my soldiers . Mutual respect is

01:32.092 --> 01:33.981
also being cultivated during this

01:33.981 --> 01:35.981
bilateral exercise that combines us

01:35.981 --> 01:37.759
soldiers and marines with their

01:37.759 --> 01:39.660
Philippine counterpart , First

01:39.660 --> 01:41.771
Lieutenant Zachary Cook describes his

01:41.771 --> 01:43.882
personal experience with the filipino

01:43.882 --> 01:46.049
service members . They've got a lot of

01:46.049 --> 01:48.370
energy and they know a lot just

01:48.380 --> 01:50.491
basically where they're from and what

01:50.491 --> 01:52.380
they've done and grown up with is

01:52.380 --> 01:54.602
different from a lot of what we grew up

01:54.602 --> 01:56.713
within the state . So the things that

01:56.713 --> 01:58.547
they're able to teach us is very

01:58.547 --> 02:00.658
valuable . First Lieutenant Cook also

02:00.658 --> 02:02.824
says the training makes us troops more

02:02.824 --> 02:04.824
dynamic in the battlefield . Making
