00:12.580 --> 00:14.800
Regiment takes the time to train up on

00:14.800 --> 00:17.110

00:17.110 --> 00:19.410
Bliss texas basically today is training

00:19.410 --> 00:21.590
up to , you know , actually when we do

00:21.590 --> 00:23.701
deploy how to interact with the local

00:23.701 --> 00:25.312
populace , how to how to get

00:25.312 --> 00:27.201
information and stuff like that ,

00:27.201 --> 00:29.423
Whether it's link up with whoever is in

00:29.423 --> 00:31.590
charge of that village , find out what

00:31.590 --> 00:33.701
kind of areas that need improving and

00:33.701 --> 00:35.923
stuff like that . What the benefit is ,

00:35.923 --> 00:38.090
they're getting good training . I mean

00:38.090 --> 00:40.257
they know how to quarantine , learning

00:40.257 --> 00:42.590
how to quarantine off of a village , uh ,

00:42.590 --> 00:44.757
interact with local nationals out of ,

00:44.757 --> 00:46.646
make contact , break contact with

00:46.646 --> 00:48.646
within the vintage . My key role is

00:48.646 --> 00:50.590
planning a regular civilian on the

00:50.590 --> 00:52.423
battlefield . Pretty much walked

00:52.423 --> 00:54.423
through and pretty much the way the

00:54.423 --> 00:56.257
americans away from the town and

00:56.257 --> 00:58.312
whatnot . The soldiers are coming up

00:58.312 --> 01:00.479
from the bottom of this mountain right

01:00.479 --> 01:02.590
now to meet a key leader than you tar

01:02.590 --> 01:04.701
and they're introducing their tactics

01:04.701 --> 01:06.812
with civilians on the battlefield and

01:06.820 --> 01:09.380
they're taking small arms fire and

01:09.380 --> 01:12.660
sniper fire from upon the ridge line .

01:12.670 --> 01:14.950
My job in this exercise is a reporter .

01:14.950 --> 01:17.117
I'm walking up to the soldiers and our

01:17.117 --> 01:19.470
leaders and asking them questions about

01:19.470 --> 01:21.637
their mission , about their families ,

01:21.637 --> 01:23.914
about their homes and things like that .

01:23.914 --> 01:25.859
Um , basically trying to interrupt

01:25.859 --> 01:28.192
their training a lot during the mission .

01:28.192 --> 01:30.248
See if I can mess them up . Anyway ,

01:30.248 --> 01:32.303
I'm sure every unit whenever they go

01:32.303 --> 01:34.303
through situations like this , they

01:34.303 --> 01:36.470
have a plan . You know , our job is to

01:36.470 --> 01:38.692
kind of just give them a little , throw

01:38.692 --> 01:38.220
them off their game to see how they

01:38.230 --> 01:40.470
react towards that . For the First
