00:06.440 --> 00:08.440
Infantry units often trained in the

00:08.440 --> 00:10.329
field , but it's uncommon for the

00:10.329 --> 00:12.440
training site to be so close to Mount

00:12.440 --> 00:14.440
Fuji . Soldiers from 3rd Battalion

00:19.390 --> 00:22.310
Orient Shield 11 , a bilateral exercise

00:22.310 --> 00:24.360
in Japan . The texas guardsmen

00:24.370 --> 00:26.481
counterparts in First Division of the

00:26.481 --> 00:28.648
Japanese Ground Self Defense Force are

00:28.648 --> 00:30.759
leaving an impression on the american

00:30.759 --> 00:32.814
soldiers in the field . They're very

00:32.814 --> 00:34.926
high speed . I mean , they know their

00:34.926 --> 00:37.148
stuff , uh , they've learned a lot from

00:37.148 --> 00:39.370
us , They have been telling us a lot of

00:39.370 --> 00:41.537
stuff that they've never done before .

00:41.537 --> 00:41.420
We showed them , you know , the how you

00:41.420 --> 00:43.642
shoot the position that you're , you're

00:43.642 --> 00:46.200
prone and there's just so much that

00:46.200 --> 00:48.210
they , they learn from us and stuff

00:48.210 --> 00:50.377
that we learned from them . Both sides

00:50.377 --> 00:52.599
are gathering all of their skills for a

00:52.599 --> 00:54.654
collective field training exercise .

00:54.654 --> 00:56.710
The soldiers of the third of the one

00:56.710 --> 00:58.710
41st are finding the field training

00:58.710 --> 01:00.599
with their allies to be a new but

01:00.599 --> 01:02.543
rewarding experience . This is the

01:02.543 --> 01:04.599
first time for me doing some sort of

01:04.599 --> 01:06.821
training with another country bilateral

01:06.821 --> 01:08.821
training . Um , pretty much used to

01:08.821 --> 01:10.988
training with just US Army . It's been

01:10.988 --> 01:13.210
interesting so far . Uh , being able to

01:13.210 --> 01:15.350
train aside with our allied forces ,

01:15.350 --> 01:17.350
which is Japan , the field training

01:17.350 --> 01:19.800
lasts for three days . Specialist brian
