00:23.670 --> 00:25.460
US has increased the number of

00:25.460 --> 00:27.682
participants in this exercise to create

00:37.330 --> 00:39.441
weapons training with Kazakh soldiers

00:39.441 --> 00:41.497

each other works . Each army taught the

00:44.330 --> 00:46.552
other how to use their firearms through

00:46.552 --> 00:48.163
classes and demonstrations ,

00:50.540 --> 00:52.762

01:00.818 --> 01:04.390
learned about and fired away . You know ,

01:04.390 --> 01:06.557

01:11.377 --> 01:13.488

01:31.370 --> 01:32.481
bravo machine gun .

01:32.481 --> 01:36.410
The main goal of

01:36.410 --> 01:38.021
this exercise is to test the

01:38.021 --> 01:40.243
peacekeeping capabilities of the Kazakh
