00:07.540 --> 00:11.460
Oh yeah ,

00:11.840 --> 00:14.170
yeah , tankers with First Tank

00:14.170 --> 00:16.392
Battalion , First Marine Regiment get a

00:16.392 --> 00:18.392
little working on their M one A one

00:18.392 --> 00:20.559
Abrams main battle tanks . The marines

00:20.559 --> 00:22.503
performed heavy maintenance on the

00:22.503 --> 00:24.337
tanks to prevent any real damage

00:24.337 --> 00:26.670
resulting from the rough afghan terrain .

00:26.670 --> 00:28.892
Their hard work is critical to keep the

00:28.892 --> 00:28.830
vehicles rolling so they can accomplish

00:28.830 --> 00:30.941
their mission . We've been able to do

00:30.941 --> 00:33.163
quite well . We've been able to work on

00:33.163 --> 00:35.274
the getting the parts in country into

00:35.274 --> 00:37.497
Afghanistan to be able to fix the tanks

00:37.497 --> 00:39.840
once they've been damaged , how to keep

00:39.840 --> 00:42.007
the tanks moving , how to keep them up

00:42.007 --> 00:44.007
based on our previous challenge has

00:44.007 --> 00:46.340
just been keeping the tanks operational .

00:46.340 --> 00:48.562
It's a challenge . The marines have met

00:48.562 --> 00:50.507
with great success . They know the

00:50.507 --> 00:52.673
difficulties of maintaining the 71 ton

00:52.673 --> 00:54.784
beasts but a broken impact wrench and

00:54.784 --> 00:57.118
the long hours in the 100 degree desert .

00:57.118 --> 00:59.229
Don't keep these marines from getting

00:59.229 --> 01:01.118
the job done Using what you got ,

01:01.118 --> 01:03.340
making it work . And pretty much we use

01:03.340 --> 01:03.300
the term called fight your tank . I

01:03.300 --> 01:05.522
mean , you're never gonna have a tank .

01:05.522 --> 01:07.633
That's 100% perfect . So we just make

01:07.633 --> 01:09.522
do with what you got you over 100

01:09.522 --> 01:11.578
difficulties that you want reporting

01:11.578 --> 01:13.800
from combat outpost to let I'm corporal

01:13.800 --> 01:14.060
