00:03.940 --> 00:05.940
Mountain Roundup has come to an end

00:05.940 --> 00:08.051
after two weeks of nonstop operations

00:08.051 --> 00:10.107
with multiple services and nations .

00:11.140 --> 00:13.362
The main purpose of the exercise was to

00:13.362 --> 00:15.418
provide the german Air Force a final

00:15.418 --> 00:17.251
proving ground for their weapons

00:17.251 --> 00:19.362
instructor course . But the extensive

00:19.362 --> 00:21.418
range complex provided valuable real

00:21.418 --> 00:23.529
world training for all participants .

00:23.529 --> 00:25.473
It's a very great experience um to

00:25.473 --> 00:27.640
learn from other countries how they do

00:27.640 --> 00:30.010
it , what they , how they would like

00:30.010 --> 00:32.980
some information , um how they

00:32.980 --> 00:35.130
transport their information into a

00:35.130 --> 00:37.410
tasking and stuff like that . So it's a

00:37.410 --> 00:39.632
very valuable thing to be out here with

00:39.632 --> 00:41.799
so many different nations . Members of

00:41.799 --> 00:43.743
the Royal Canadian Air Force , the

00:43.743 --> 00:45.799
german Air Force and the U . S . Air

00:45.799 --> 00:48.021
Force , Navy and Marine Corps all got a

00:48.021 --> 00:50.243
chance to work together and function as

00:50.243 --> 00:52.410
they would in a joint operation . This

00:52.410 --> 00:54.466
is vitally important due to the fact

00:54.466 --> 00:56.521
that we need to incorporate our NATO

00:56.521 --> 00:58.743
forces into the war on terrorism . This

00:58.743 --> 01:00.799
provides everybody an opportunity to

01:00.799 --> 01:02.743
work together , learn each other's

01:02.743 --> 01:04.966
unique skill sets , language , anything

01:04.966 --> 01:07.990
that we can do to better our overall

01:07.990 --> 01:10.212
objective , it's best to practice how ,

01:10.212 --> 01:12.490
how you're going to play and in combat .

01:12.490 --> 01:14.712
That's how it works . It's never really

01:14.712 --> 01:16.934
just gonna be a marine unit by itself ,

01:16.934 --> 01:18.823
supporting marines will work with

01:18.823 --> 01:18.630
whatever is available in the way of

01:18.640 --> 01:20.900
different units of countries . So if we

01:20.900 --> 01:22.900
could practice like that here we go

01:22.900 --> 01:25.122
down range , it makes us that much more

01:25.122 --> 01:27.011
effective . The exercise not only

01:27.011 --> 01:29.178
provided the german pilots a chance to

01:29.178 --> 01:31.400
earn their final qualification but also

01:31.400 --> 01:33.511
afforded american service members and

01:33.511 --> 01:35.456
foreign allies a superior training

01:35.456 --> 01:37.400
