WEBVTT 00:07.820 --> 00:08.080 Okay. 00:08.900 --> 00:13.940 You. All bowl 45 different exercises this for an the tune you 00:13.940 --> 00:17.730 guys and gals are syria is the largest one of its can and this 00:17.730 --> 00:21.500 is the The first one is a as a corps commander says joe campbell 00:21.500 --> 00:24.730 said earlier this the first time in 10 years that we've had the 00:24.730 --> 00:25.910 opportunity of up. 00:26.810 --> 00:28.830 Old exercising at court this level. 00:29.480 --> 00:33.170 But That said the third corea's even further blazing a trail 00:33.170 --> 00:35.690 by being the largest most complex. 00:36.250 --> 00:41.230 A that's what I do again about we'll see about 500 600 of mine 00:41.230 --> 00:45.090 military personnel but a battalion size that dead descend on 00:45.090 --> 00:48.130 that the training audience in this case a string audiences in 00:48.130 --> 00:51.980 units both that for level wharf has walls here primarily for 00:51.980 --> 00:55.030 food all we do is we just tell me to become better and what they 00:55.030 --> 00:59.450 do a army. Third course specially is a great outfits. You know 00:59.820 --> 01:04.540 10 years plus in the crucible of combat in Afghanistan and iraq. 01:05.060 --> 01:08.910 But We can always get better is a corps commander said NASA we 01:08.910 --> 01:12.000 help units do which is see themselves a. 01:13.030 --> 01:15.510 I don't know if you have any specific questions are fight any 01:15.510 --> 01:19.070 answer a specific questions regarding exercise or the performance 01:19.070 --> 01:22.980 of that I'm a be more than glad that help you guys out dell's up. 01:24.130 --> 01:25.260 Some Woo. 01:26.020 --> 01:27.510 Past two weeks for some. 01:28.510 --> 01:31.060 This is joe camel. So that. The course of untrained for this 01:31.060 --> 01:34.110 for a long time they've been in the in the process a train for him. 01:34.670 --> 01:39.290 Last year you're close up for this past two weeks. What we did 01:39.290 --> 01:42.930 was we started with they yeah as he explained earlier in a an 01:42.930 --> 01:46.390 enemy force took over a friendly nation to the United States 01:46.390 --> 01:50.060 and then there was a a a un security council resolution that 01:50.090 --> 01:53.140 requested assistance on a part of the United States and other 01:53.140 --> 01:58.190 member nations the un to assist in a expelling that enemy force 01:58.190 --> 02:03.250 from the friendly nation. So in the past was seen the past two 02:03.250 --> 02:07.690 weeks ago. What we did was we basically landed the third quarter 02:07.690 --> 02:11.370 and its associated units on this a fictional elation. 02:11.910 --> 02:16.990 And started to expel that the progress or from that fictional makes. 02:17.560 --> 02:22.200 And a bus for a we did we've done this joel campbell said quite 02:22.200 --> 02:26.500 a bit with regards to synchronizing air power I with the use 02:26.530 --> 02:31.050 of land forces and that he he he explain quite. Well this is 02:31.080 --> 02:33.720 you know a decisive action in the environment is what's called 02:33.720 --> 02:36.780 the army calls and decisive action training environment. 02:37.220 --> 02:41.480 Hey so basically what the army is done is designed an entire 02:41.480 --> 02:45.810 country with surrounding countries in this scenario and in a 02:45.810 --> 02:49.230 grass or army as walls a friendly army to come in and uh uh. 02:49.820 --> 02:53.510 Takeover that friendly nation and in the U.S. attempts to expel 02:53.510 --> 02:57.450 a a aggressive self but the the Dylan is basically. 02:58.640 --> 03:04.120 Alot of higher-end a combat operations a lot of work to worry 03:04.120 --> 03:08.610 a lot of air power lot of 10 contain can infantry an infantry 03:08.610 --> 03:09.360 tied fighting. 03:10.530 --> 03:13.310 But at the same time been doing this season. We've that army 03:13.310 --> 03:16.870 is so good that uh that we've won the past 10 years and then 03:16.870 --> 03:22.690 is working to stop aim they growing insurgency that in this friendly 03:22.690 --> 03:27.020 nation working to stop by terrorist activity in this nation as 03:27.020 --> 03:30.500 well as working to stop varies criminal. Most of one whenever 03:30.500 --> 03:34.540 there says a conflicts so it's a it's pretty it's a pretty complex scenario.. One. 03:37.880 --> 03:42.700 One. For you but. 03:43.390 --> 03:46.200 Hey you were when joe camel talk about training objectives of 03:46.200 --> 03:49.310 it the what happens is is general campbell as well as the chief 03:49.310 --> 03:53.560 a Stephanie army and the forscom commander. He uh in concert 03:53.560 --> 03:57.080 with each other sit down and determine what the corn use the 03:57.080 --> 04:00.970 train on an or to the most successful a silly have this listing 04:00.970 --> 04:04.500 a training objectives in a and they're some of the more complex 04:04.500 --> 04:08.020 and others or what they what we great am again storm it's a really 04:08.020 --> 04:12.470 great or we look at him again. So they can prove is a those training 04:12.470 --> 04:16.610 objectives how they're chi as well as those published standards 04:16.610 --> 04:19.790 that we that within our me the doctoral stands with an army and 04:19.790 --> 04:22.280 what makes this one a little bit more complex than what others 04:22.280 --> 04:25.370 in the past of done which makes third corrie an even greater 04:25.370 --> 04:29.610 unit is wi-fi and the complexity of operating and enjoy going. 04:30.320 --> 04:33.530 A multinational environment. So he's operating with both the 04:33.530 --> 04:37.970 air force visit naval element is a marine corps element involved 04:37.970 --> 04:42.400 in it there are is a a integration of the reserve component is 04:42.400 --> 04:46.690 will Z active component and then we have a friendly were coalition 04:46.690 --> 04:49.930 partners Izzy mentioned earlier in replication to the unit a 04:49.930 --> 04:54.810 United kingdom a canada and some others sell a it's a incredibly 04:54.810 --> 04:55.940 complex. Environment. 04:58.750 --> 05:01.830 For some the changes that were to the suit. 05:02.840 --> 05:08.580 Foods. Okay to change and I'm assuming it's changes in the past 05:08.680 --> 05:09.520 10 years or so. 05:10.040 --> 05:15.020 But We've learned so much in the past 10 years by fighting up 05:15.150 --> 05:19.090 hard-earned through blood and sweat and the In a lot of sacrifice 05:19.090 --> 05:23.790 was born so much of some of the changes are based on what that 05:23.790 --> 05:26.530 worse case scenario would be its United States is confronted 05:26.530 --> 05:26.870 with that. 05:27.400 --> 05:31.360 Uh we change asian as you all are very familiar with from change 05:31.360 --> 05:36.090 power forces organize the change from a division centric organization 05:36.090 --> 05:39.800 to a Brigade centric organization. We've changed Powell uh. 05:39.800 --> 05:42.580 How many people weren't very she admits that we have whether 05:42.580 --> 05:46.730 units exist anymore a always changes but we've never had the 05:46.730 --> 05:51.880 chance to exercise them in this high scale or higher and a more 05:51.880 --> 05:55.420 complex environment where all the sayings are happening simultaneously. 05:55.740 --> 05:59.170 So what we're doing is we're proofing some of those old try intrude 05:59.170 --> 06:02.790 methods that we can we're also incorporating some of those new 06:02.790 --> 06:07.170 designs for organisation structure to ensure that we got it right 06:07.510 --> 06:10.820 and as a gel campbell said earlier that so appropriately we're 06:10.820 --> 06:15.040 making sure the third core that we're getting it right for me. 06:15.440 --> 06:18.750 So they're they're blazing a trail for us and what we do is we 06:18.750 --> 06:23.180 help along the way as well as a helped the army to get better 06:23.180 --> 06:26.240 and what it does and hal to make sure we've got it right. 06:26.240 --> 06:29.990 So there's less suffering in less a potential loss of apart American 06:30.320 --> 06:33.530 soldiers woes on the part American people because the American 06:33.530 --> 06:36.940 people are phenomenal it the support to get to their army as 06:36.940 --> 06:38.090 Walser join for so. 06:38.840 --> 06:40.500 And it's a question I hope that.. He. 06:41.080 --> 06:47.750 He. I'm from Yeah. 06:48.420 --> 06:53.410 Can you can do things. Why. So. So. 06:53.940 --> 06:59.090 What. I don't think it's based on that capability. I think it's 06:59.090 --> 07:00.800 just a determination of. 07:01.400 --> 07:04.900 What we need to do better at what we haven't done and a long 07:04.900 --> 07:06.350 time and is a. 07:07.130 --> 07:08.790 Up as you've heard earlier. 07:09.320 --> 07:12.790 Is all this alone were skill sets it may have atrophy it's been 07:12.790 --> 07:15.550 a long time since we fought anyone with attack. 07:16.280 --> 07:20.440 Uh you know it's been a long time since we for it and Thank thank 07:20.440 --> 07:24.190 goodness is the 1004 and Glee with an air force on this case 07:24.360 --> 07:28.670 made me a third cores walls all of this aborted elements in the 07:28.670 --> 07:33.560 third quarter are facing a a potential threat that has always 07:33.560 --> 07:36.650 different uh pieces of liquid that all those different level 07:36.650 --> 07:39.740 of training and experience is the army that they're going up 07:39.740 --> 07:43.810 against you know a is replicated by us soldiers with all that 07:43.810 --> 07:47.190 same experience but it is significantly better armed than what 07:47.190 --> 07:50.390 we faced in the past is significantly better trained. But we 07:50.390 --> 07:54.600 have enough in the things to in the past 10 10 to 15 years and 07:54.600 --> 07:57.180 there's also the added dimension of up. 07:58.260 --> 08:02.410 Strategic and a theatre local policy. 08:02.920 --> 08:07.080 A political policy there is involve within the scenario. So certain 08:07.080 --> 08:11.050 things must be achieved on a on a very high level of political love. 08:11.560 --> 08:15.610 And that is a a a part of training is invaluable. So there's 08:15.610 --> 08:18.890 all these different things and right in and and I was rim this 08:18.890 --> 08:22.550 earlier by saying another portion of the exercise uh that took 08:22.550 --> 08:26.490 place in washington d.c. early on and that was it was a was called 08:26.490 --> 08:27.270 a table top. 08:27.830 --> 08:31.890 A exercise involved and members from the actual us government 08:31.890 --> 08:34.880 and we call it the inter agency and there's a lot a great acronyms 08:34.880 --> 08:38.410 for but it's all those things that we know we're gonna go the 08:38.410 --> 08:42.540 war with if if we go with piano when we go again. So members 08:42.540 --> 08:45.610 from the state department more of all in that the assisting members 08:45.610 --> 08:48.660 of of justice will uh the farm injustice for of all there was 08:48.660 --> 08:51.950 the FBI were of all members of the part of energy were ball and 08:51.950 --> 08:55.500 still lost uh to make sure of that the third for gets the best 08:55.500 --> 09:00.200 possible workout. So it's it's it's a pretty pretty complex scenario. 09:00.500 --> 09:04.060 That's a pretty complex environment that the third corea's excelling. 09:05.150 --> 09:07.310 Surfs. Up that uh so. 09:08.090 --> 09:12.780 Well in a in from your as the common. All players in thing is 09:12.880 --> 09:13.930 to make fun of. 09:14.500 --> 09:16.880 That that's a great question room. Right know if you look at 09:16.880 --> 09:17.690 the support. 09:18.500 --> 09:23.500 Behind that 5000 soldiers. It's about 15 hundred so the ratios 09:23.500 --> 09:26.030 about a third I guess we'll once it. 09:27.740 --> 09:30.520 I'm not amassed debts. So uh apologize of I got the baffle. 09:31.110 --> 09:33.030 Them up on the thing about. 09:33.650 --> 09:38.620 Specifics me from my riding folding certain known for. 09:39.410 --> 09:43.250 Its Interesing part of this is it it's called the date and I 09:43.250 --> 09:45.940 say really you know we like to use that has been this decisive 09:45.940 --> 09:49.460 action training environment and it was designed by a training 09:49.460 --> 09:54.400 and doctrine command to be the blueprint for these type of exercises 09:54.710 --> 09:57.300 now that said that's just one little component. 09:58.670 --> 10:04.000 This scenario fee for this specific the specific set of circumstances started. 10:04.670 --> 10:08.910 A allysia was to start providing third quarrel with these things 10:08.940 --> 10:09.500 about all. 10:10.030 --> 10:13.130 She anywhere in the gym way beginning of a do worry is what vanilla 10:13.130 --> 10:16.080 thing we're trying to replicate is is what's called a crisis 10:16.080 --> 10:21.020 action planning. So that a scenario so in puts a time constraint 10:21.050 --> 10:24.290 which mixes scenario that much more difficult for the unit. 10:24.290 --> 10:27.420 So the exacting detail doesn't start coming out. The does all 10:27.420 --> 10:30.990 come at the same time either and that vinnie part about that 10:30.990 --> 10:32.360 is as the ambiguity. 10:32.870 --> 10:35.750 That is intentionally built into the sarah's out with eldest 10:35.750 --> 10:38.940 says the the realistic ambiguity because you don't know until 10:38.940 --> 10:41.560 the last minute you don't know exactly which in the face since 10:41.560 --> 10:42.460 we're actually facing. 10:43.040 --> 10:46.490 The case in point all longer than a. 10:47.130 --> 10:50.500 Nice uh you know nations. So security council resolutions being 10:50.530 --> 10:54.210 a provided they're been the political statements from the present 10:54.210 --> 10:58.200 nine States congressional statements being provided an actual 10:58.200 --> 11:01.430 a country studies on the ground reports being fit in from me 11:01.430 --> 11:05.210 a ambassadorial staff prior to the invasion this all started 11:05.210 --> 11:08.410 back away said about the in the G inward so. 11:09.150 --> 11:12.170 It's a it's a kind of a weird question they've known where the 11:12.170 --> 11:16.710 country was this this fictional country was a new the basic al 11:16.710 --> 11:17.720 lines possible. 11:18.400 --> 11:21.630 But they're not fade the exacting detail necessary. They will 11:21.670 --> 11:24.960 there are soldiers deserve until probably start about january 11:24.990 --> 11:28.010 and that and look like joe camel. So. The course we're working 11:28.010 --> 11:32.550 through it and amazing fashion since january and civilian not effort. 11:34.330 --> 11:36.080 What's this was adjusted for. 11:36.590 --> 11:37.160 The time. 11:37.990 --> 11:39.040 The other posts and 11:40.370 --> 11:43.260 Us guyanese say other posts you know we're we're we're so I'm 11:43.260 --> 11:45.900 a for good but we the soldiers right now. There's train that 11:45.990 --> 11:49.660 in a Fort leavenworth is this is a CG mentioned earlier from 11:49.660 --> 11:52.650 the 20 eighth are actually from Pennsylvania went to Fort love 11:52.650 --> 11:56.900 or so they can train as part of this as a soldiers and airmen 11:57.020 --> 12:01.200 that are training at full birchfield I'm doing that that they're 12:01.200 --> 12:05.360 synchronization that air coronation that was discussed earlier 12:05.570 --> 12:10.180 this soldiers the sailors and airmen in summer rains that are 12:10.180 --> 12:13.390 it that the and a suffolk Virginia they're providing some of 12:13.390 --> 12:16.960 the dead a in puts in these so basically for goodies the at the 12:16.960 --> 12:20.670 center of a fan it runs out all the way across. 12:21.270 --> 12:24.810 Gallway across or great nation and in balls every single one 12:24.810 --> 12:28.830 of the julie force as well as those members of the inter agency. 12:29.060 --> 12:33.400 So back in the DC. So it's a it's it it's an amazing construct. 12:34.040 --> 12:34.450 And that. 12:35.000 --> 12:37.950 The great thing about it is is we're we're nation Seaport able 12:37.950 --> 12:41.180 to do that that's linked virtually. So there's no dependence 12:41.180 --> 12:45.150 on is it like your satellite feeds is no dependence on a time 12:45.150 --> 12:49.430 lag war difficulty receiving missions all the equipment in these 12:49.430 --> 12:53.950 up these units were taken to combat all that the up battle tracking 12:53.950 --> 12:56.560 equipment they that you you guys know exist. 12:57.160 --> 13:01.630 That's all being fed from Fort leavenworth in fanned out simultaneously 13:02.110 --> 13:05.440 across all those different audiences and it's a great advantage 13:05.440 --> 13:08.630 of or of our training systems and training that works to be able 13:08.630 --> 13:09.110 to do that. 13:09.630 --> 13:13.900 And iconic tinge in jail cam looking good on his on his uh uh. 13:14.600 --> 13:19.450 Monitors seep off monitor and he can look at that and talk face 13:19.450 --> 13:23.930 to face side ally with the division commander. That's operating 13:23.960 --> 13:28.340 in Fort leavenworth and the movements of he'd Iraq's can be seen 13:28.370 --> 13:32.100 on the systems here as for good. So it's it it's in and Craig 13:32.140 --> 13:34.490 I you know I think you think he's turns like seamless. 13:35.120 --> 13:37.820 We'll when you consider how far we kenedy consider the things 13:37.820 --> 13:41.200 or about overseas a world war two movie where you got the guys 13:41.200 --> 13:44.750 pushing sticks around with airplanes arm around of a big map 13:45.130 --> 13:48.930 how far we've come since said and it's a great testament to our 13:48.930 --> 13:53.960 army are julie force as Llosa to us taxpayer. Yeah. That's allowed 13:53.960 --> 13:57.790 us to support that because they value the value of us at such 13:57.790 --> 14:01.250 a high level the they've provided that capability to this and 14:01.410 --> 14:03.340 have an this uh.
