00:07.540 --> 00:10.260
maybe expeditionary combat command or E .

00:10.260 --> 00:12.371
C . C . Took part in a two week field

00:12.371 --> 00:14.316
synthetic training exercise in SAN

00:14.316 --> 00:17.490
Diego . This particular exercise is

00:17.490 --> 00:19.434
important because it showcases the

00:19.434 --> 00:22.490
interoperability of all NDCC components .

00:22.500 --> 00:25.360
The purpose is to have different

00:25.370 --> 00:27.560
components of any CC work together to

00:27.620 --> 00:30.080
get a feel for how each can integrate .

00:30.090 --> 00:32.146
But also all three of these commands

00:32.146 --> 00:34.312
are gonna be in the Middle East at the

00:34.312 --> 00:36.090
same time . That way it gives a

00:36.090 --> 00:38.257
different commanders a better grasp of

00:38.257 --> 00:40.479
how each operate within uh within their

00:40.479 --> 00:42.479
AO are one of the ways the exercise

00:42.479 --> 00:44.479
prepared navy personnel was through

00:44.479 --> 00:46.590
simulated key leader engagements . We

00:46.590 --> 00:48.479
have real world role players that

00:48.479 --> 00:50.590
simulate host nation . I believe it's

00:50.590 --> 00:52.646
very important . This is probably as

00:52.646 --> 00:54.757
close as possible that you can get to

00:54.757 --> 00:56.812
the reality . For one thing , like I

00:56.812 --> 00:59.034
said , I was born in Iraq so I know the

00:59.034 --> 00:58.690
culture . So when I address the

00:58.700 --> 01:00.940
questions or we do the scenarios , I

01:00.950 --> 01:03.172
don't know exactly how it's supposed to

01:03.172 --> 01:05.339
go over there . Participating commands

01:05.339 --> 01:07.117
included maritime expeditionary

01:07.117 --> 01:09.117
security squadrons , three and 11 .

01:09.117 --> 01:11.061
Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit one

01:11.061 --> 01:13.228
Maritime Civil Affairs Training team ,

01:13.228 --> 01:15.820
combat Camera and Coast Guard , Port

01:15.820 --> 01:19.640
Security unit 309 . What this exercise

01:19.640 --> 01:22.650
provides is an opportunity for trained

01:22.650 --> 01:25.080
individuals to now put all that

01:25.090 --> 01:27.090
together , Put all those skill sets

01:27.090 --> 01:29.146
that they've learned in the training

01:29.146 --> 01:31.090
package that they learned prior to

01:31.090 --> 01:33.312
deploying . Put it all together and and

01:33.312 --> 01:35.312
simulated scenarios , it allows the

01:35.312 --> 01:37.090
units to flex their skills in a

01:37.090 --> 01:39.660
controlled environment and hopefully

01:40.040 --> 01:42.550
you can identify any issues you may be

01:42.550 --> 01:44.328
having either communications or

01:44.328 --> 01:46.400
equipment issues here in the field

01:46.400 --> 01:48.400
environment so that when you deploy

01:48.400 --> 01:50.730
forward , those issues don't exist and

01:50.730 --> 01:52.980
you'll have a successful , from SAN

01:52.980 --> 01:54.813
Diego . I'm Petty Officer Foster

01:54.813 --> 01:55.260
Bamford .
