00:10.540 --> 00:12.596
Javelin thrust is the largest Marine

00:12.596 --> 00:14.707
Corps Reserve exercise that will hold

00:14.707 --> 00:16.818
in 2011 . It accomplishes a number of

00:16.818 --> 00:19.150
the commandant's overall objectives .

00:19.540 --> 00:22.720
First . It's a uh it's a med level

00:22.720 --> 00:24.860
exercise or MAG Staff level exercise

00:24.860 --> 00:26.971
that brings together all the elements

00:26.971 --> 00:29.027
of the fourth Marine Aircraft wing .

00:29.027 --> 00:31.249
Fourth Marine Division , the fourth M .

00:31.249 --> 00:33.082
L . G . In one location training

00:33.082 --> 00:36.060
together to it accomplishes the

00:36.060 --> 00:38.370
objective of conducting a med level

00:38.370 --> 00:40.570
exercise and active and reserve

00:40.570 --> 00:42.810
integration . Uh What we see here is

00:42.810 --> 00:45.680
the first map and Active Duty MaB uh is

00:45.680 --> 00:47.902
the command and control element for all

00:47.902 --> 00:50.400
the reserve forces here . Uh Javelin

00:50.410 --> 00:54.300
thrust three . It helps

00:54.310 --> 00:56.420
with the objective of the common

00:56.470 --> 00:58.720
objective of conducting large scale

00:58.730 --> 01:00.952
exercises . We're working with training

01:00.952 --> 01:03.174
and education command as we try to work

01:03.174 --> 01:05.397
through what large scale exercises will

01:05.397 --> 01:07.508
look in the future and that's part of

01:07.508 --> 01:09.730
this effort . And finally , it provides

01:09.730 --> 01:11.897
the opportunity for all the marines in

01:11.897 --> 01:13.897
the Mag Taff . Two get together and

01:13.897 --> 01:16.340
train in an environment , a widely

01:16.340 --> 01:18.770
distributed environment that looks a

01:18.780 --> 01:20.613
lot like what they would meet in

01:20.613 --> 01:21.613
Afghanistan .

01:26.540 --> 01:28.651
Looking forward , it is move into the

01:28.651 --> 01:31.970
21st century uh Marine Corps Reserve is

01:31.970 --> 01:33.637
going to be what they call an

01:33.637 --> 01:35.359
operational reserve . Unlike a

01:35.359 --> 01:37.414
strategic reserve or the where units

01:37.414 --> 01:39.581
will train and and stand around and be

01:39.581 --> 01:41.490
ready when the call comes , we

01:41.490 --> 01:44.140
anticipate that in the future , Marine

01:44.150 --> 01:46.640
Reserve units will be incorporated into

01:46.650 --> 01:48.483
contingency operations and other

01:48.483 --> 01:50.317
operations around the world on a

01:50.317 --> 01:52.428
regular basis . In order to do that ,

01:52.428 --> 01:54.594
we have to be trained and ready across

01:54.594 --> 01:56.761
the board , uh ready to integrate with

01:56.761 --> 01:59.800
our active duty counterparts that

01:59.810 --> 02:02.870
javelin thrust accomplishes a lot of

02:02.870 --> 02:05.130
those goals . And so we're this

02:05.130 --> 02:07.890
exercise and those others like it help

02:07.890 --> 02:09.980
us prepare to be an operational .
