WEBVTT 00:00.260 --> 00:08.140 And Ok. 00:08.790 --> 00:11.770 Mac or spawning would first bring the vision public there's today 00:11.770 --> 00:15.090 we have the commanding general of restrain division major general 00:15.090 --> 00:18.180 ronald bailey here to talk to us about exercise steal my. 00:18.690 --> 00:19.790 Nights or for more. 00:20.620 --> 00:24.080 So you basically we're here to try and give the audience a better 00:24.080 --> 00:27.520 understanding of exactly what's going on with exercise see on 00:27.520 --> 00:32.440 and what it is for on its described as the the return of the 00:32.440 --> 00:36.610 ring core to its core crops and sees can you describe to us what 00:36.610 --> 00:40.550 those are what are poor Compton sees are and how we beverage 00:40.550 --> 00:43.630 from them for the past ten years. We'll let me take you back 00:43.630 --> 00:48.230 to to state bit of the shares deal. Nice a division the letters that. 00:48.960 --> 00:52.080 And they're all give us an opportunity is a division to focus 00:52.080 --> 00:56.450 in on on division a command and control we struck top and the 00:56.450 --> 00:59.790 core competency is of a division we're talking about this Davis 00:59.790 --> 01:04.110 of operations will support a amphibious operation so for us when 01:04.110 --> 01:09.650 we talk about the transition back after being involved in the 01:09.790 --> 01:13.070 or why a of and all the best of transition that we're talking 01:13.070 --> 01:17.230 about of to include such things as humanitarian disaster relief 01:17.260 --> 01:18.860 of things of that nature. 01:19.640 --> 01:24.790 Wealth of still night a star often say they are makes a size 01:24.790 --> 01:28.640 in the nineties in the new bob into a pre deployment training 01:28.640 --> 01:33.210 exercises are units were preparing to going to or year instill 01:33.570 --> 01:37.750 a sense that is on the draw down now we're focusing on division 01:37.830 --> 01:40.230 division level of skills. 01:41.400 --> 01:41.940 Arts are. 01:42.480 --> 01:45.770 When you accelerate course or what was a large scale training 01:45.770 --> 01:49.660 exercise like and Like you mentioned. It's changed a lot. 01:49.660 --> 01:53.080 So because of a lie ethanol. Yes can you describe how that's 01:53.080 --> 01:57.770 shifts the a large skilled what I would call a described as a 01:57.770 --> 02:02.150 large scale it's that was the the combine arm six a says better 02:02.150 --> 02:07.560 known as skeptics in so old we were all deployed at least a battalion 02:07.710 --> 02:12.020 a would deploy a opted for an amp arms with the regional headquarters 02:12.020 --> 02:16.290 as the command element and so having that regional of headquarters 02:16.290 --> 02:20.790 command element. We hear the of where prisoners or or the squadron 02:21.250 --> 02:26.610 the a immodesty representative in terms of time similar to what 02:26.610 --> 02:31.700 we have today in a combat logistics of the time. So of that regional headquarters. 02:31.700 --> 02:35.040 So was responsible for integrating the Mac captain paul and the 02:35.040 --> 02:38.250 Mac get together. So the original headquarters the Mac careful 02:38.550 --> 02:40.470 headquarters with the the times. 02:41.070 --> 02:45.660 Of that exercise in a in paulo goals that gave us an opportunity 02:45.660 --> 02:49.420 to work on our combined arms are combined on skills. So there's 02:49.420 --> 02:53.580 a difference but of what we're doing today is we look at the 02:53.830 --> 02:58.030 exercise still night is the beginning or canada for runner of 02:58.030 --> 02:59.620 to otti aches a integrated. 03:00.150 --> 03:04.290 Training exercises so of but where we do know from a division 03:04.290 --> 03:07.420 level perspective a of doing this still night. 03:08.980 --> 03:13.110 On. See the marine corps is a need five fours as you know esther 03:13.450 --> 03:17.370 how are we uniquely equipped to address a future. Securing means 03:17.370 --> 03:21.700 america especially with regards to our our interests in the pacific 03:21.700 --> 03:24.360 sir but set to that's a very good question. 03:24.950 --> 03:29.760 Our store best in the of the United States is a global on their 03:29.760 --> 03:30.660 time power. 03:31.280 --> 03:33.300 Weird with the largest economy in the world. 03:33.920 --> 03:37.320 We know when you when you think about a from my you've brought 03:37.370 --> 03:41.370 prospective big pitches school a twenty one of the twenty eight 03:41.370 --> 03:44.980 mega cities in the near the look tour ills basically about sixty 03:44.980 --> 03:48.560 two miles away from the look towards large population centers 03:48.560 --> 03:53.370 or near the look towards and so when you wore a nation of the 03:53.370 --> 03:56.950 survivors of the global commons been you need a force like the 03:56.950 --> 04:00.790 United States marine corps which is a force that has a naval character. 04:00.860 --> 04:04.140 You know where naval force and we're able to respond today with 04:04.140 --> 04:09.670 today's force. So this is where a train like steel night at the 04:09.670 --> 04:12.840 division there was very very important because it the ground 04:12.840 --> 04:17.990 combat element of met. But there will be deployed of to conduct 04:17.990 --> 04:22.850 operations that. May secure of those will tour of so the marine 04:22.850 --> 04:28.750 corps is in my perspective is a uniquely a organizing qualify 04:29.110 --> 04:33.340 out to fill those future. Roles partnership compare city in in 04:33.340 --> 04:37.570 partition building. These are things that the marine corps stabilizing force. 04:37.570 --> 04:40.080 We we work very well with joint. 04:40.860 --> 04:45.490 We we create space for the nation for commanders in an environment. 04:46.550 --> 04:51.200 For their When I lenin team one is can be basically heading the 04:51.200 --> 04:53.710 landing onto beach for exercise steel night. 04:54.290 --> 04:57.790 Conji discredit challenges of controlling an amphibious landing 04:57.790 --> 05:02.730 team as well as hockey odd. It is it to establish an actual lending 05:02.730 --> 05:07.230 force operation center. Well are are up to one one of the the 05:07.550 --> 05:11.580 difficult things to of up and tudou operation is a coronation 05:11.580 --> 05:14.170 and so that's why I still matters it's of very poor. 05:14.680 --> 05:19.220 Our at its best I headed a if that can request a senate will 05:19.220 --> 05:22.780 be to have more into the ships will have an of incident fifty 05:22.780 --> 05:28.230 ships of to be richer person trained properly. But if that dear 05:28.420 --> 05:31.940 foss came for a day. I would give that inter original land and 05:31.940 --> 05:37.640 sea of the capacity or the opportunity to to come ashore from 05:37.640 --> 05:41.830 our interview ships and so that's in how you organize how you 05:41.830 --> 05:45.740 prepare of so forced your night. This is give us an opportunity 05:45.740 --> 05:50.300 train today book the most important thing is I sit in in anti 05:50.300 --> 05:54.220 this operation is a command and control having a good command 05:54.220 --> 05:55.370 control allows you. 05:55.900 --> 05:59.820 To be you to make those changes that are required or a more will 05:59.820 --> 06:03.700 force here dare to respond it gives you the adaptability that 06:03.700 --> 06:08.620 you need a man to this operation are forty one has bid and is 06:08.620 --> 06:11.180 a part of first of med. 06:11.690 --> 06:14.870 So this gives them an opportunity tree to their core companies 06:14.870 --> 06:18.970 in and he's the overall skills and anti-this operations are from 06:18.970 --> 06:23.480 everything go to the command control of the year and ground combat 06:23.480 --> 06:27.160 element of the logistics aspect of it and the aviation aspect 06:27.160 --> 06:31.340 of all those a critical part of an end to this operation in in 06:31.340 --> 06:36.280 so creating of that that the lodge and it requires that the train 06:36.280 --> 06:37.380 to those skill sets. 06:38.900 --> 06:42.840 This year's exercise is currently it or is gonna be in conjunction 06:42.840 --> 06:46.450 with up exercise ballet mark is. Well we're the singaporeans 06:46.450 --> 06:50.040 are with the second town fifth rain sue their training right now. 06:50.370 --> 06:53.250 How are you planning to integrate the singapore aims. 06:53.900 --> 06:58.270 Into X assess your night and wise and port slow is likely to 06:58.270 --> 07:02.450 do Yuri when I was talking about the over the years in its be 07:02.450 --> 07:04.330 in a global maritime nation. 07:04.970 --> 07:08.030 Part of what we do as a marine corps is that we were what up 07:08.030 --> 07:12.100 or as we build their capacity of our unique strength of the United 07:12.100 --> 07:14.510 States marine corps mean. We're you know where organizers of 07:14.510 --> 07:18.950 maureen around task forces and that tax is that we had the ability 07:19.230 --> 07:23.810 to move from from ship to shore of I'm over from should be sure 07:23.810 --> 07:28.650 it it gives us an opportunity to we create we have a very light footwork. 07:29.200 --> 07:34.150 And so was we're building of the partnership with our horse nations 07:34.540 --> 07:38.590 a share with their Moscow said and they share with us. There's also. 07:39.530 --> 07:44.260 We're able to establish a relationship that we may need or made 07:44.550 --> 07:49.200 in the future of the a force of this working together for example 07:49.200 --> 07:52.540 on humanitarian disaster in we are tom what ought to come to 07:52.570 --> 07:56.670 to mine when you start talking. Yeah of the burlesque eighty 07:56.670 --> 08:00.460 Dior a type of operation humanitarian disaster relief type operation. 08:00.460 --> 08:04.430 So when we adapt to the Nexus S searches of bite mark to work 08:04.430 --> 08:08.350 with the singapore it gives us a great opportunity to one shoe 08:08.350 --> 08:12.380 repair mark Akamai and a control law systems and how we do things 08:12.740 --> 08:16.190 I share with them are lessons to learn we ever a force and marines 08:16.190 --> 08:19.150 who work on that train. So we can share those lessons with the 08:19.180 --> 08:23.250 than in in top of them and and show them how we do different 08:23.250 --> 08:26.370 things and then we learn the same from the Eyes we watch how 08:26.370 --> 08:29.870 the they work to different skill sets and challenges that we 08:29.870 --> 08:34.250 have if from of of by mark is a very very good exercise is just 08:34.250 --> 08:38.000 one of many of that were involved in in terms of the partners 08:38.000 --> 08:39.890 all over the asian pacific region. 08:40.820 --> 08:41.770 Cuts are out of. 08:43.520 --> 08:47.410 Yeah live fire exercises where there's this table and recording 08:47.410 --> 08:50.960 in nineteen nineties for out what do you think that the biggest 08:50.960 --> 08:55.360 benefits of AIG large-scale exercise like steel night. Well let 08:55.360 --> 08:58.520 me go back and cannot modify that just a little bit. 08:59.450 --> 09:03.510 And we as I said before we original headquarters it would go 09:03.510 --> 09:04.680 up a. 09:05.200 --> 09:08.960 First division head. In fact going are more skill it says it 09:08.960 --> 09:12.620 in even when I was a second a vision we did some same fakes and 09:12.620 --> 09:15.910 so over the last twelve years we have not had that opportunity 09:15.910 --> 09:18.490 because of the cancer justified bitcoin fight. 09:19.460 --> 09:23.590 The great value in benefit of of an exercise of this nature is 09:23.930 --> 09:27.100 you get opt-in you're able to exercise your command and control 09:27.310 --> 09:32.450 in the you're able to a more or less the stretcher systems texture 09:32.450 --> 09:36.680 systems and make sure that of it you can talk to your units for 09:36.680 --> 09:39.690 example I have first maureen Street can't come up and I fifth 09:39.690 --> 09:43.190 marines over at twenty than palm. So you know it that's a pretty 09:43.190 --> 09:43.950 broad area. 09:44.540 --> 09:46.470 In which the division is spread but. 09:46.990 --> 09:50.180 Most importantly gives us an opportunity to to work all of our 09:50.180 --> 09:54.670 systems but to work that each year five the ha of asset carnes 09:54.770 --> 09:58.850 use debt of leagues and of see pop all those things that we need 09:58.850 --> 10:03.830 to control a fight or to a bar or to look at things across a 10:03.830 --> 10:05.960 range of military operations in in the theatre. 10:07.020 --> 10:12.560 Answer. It's assessed by this year's generating a lot of media 10:12.560 --> 10:15.000 interests are more than the previous years. 10:15.900 --> 10:19.780 Is this specific messy you want to deliver to the public yesterday 10:19.780 --> 10:23.000 online yet a message that I wanted to live to the public is that 10:23.000 --> 10:26.290 the United States more equals death rate of one the nation. 10:26.440 --> 10:29.170 It's nice for a United States morin call will be really that's 10:29.170 --> 10:33.300 the first of of thing I will like a pair softer American of public 10:33.300 --> 10:37.280 than the other thing that I would like to see is it we're training 10:37.720 --> 10:43.110 now for contingencies or what ever made confront this nation 10:43.110 --> 10:46.440 in the future and so all the marines and sailors evolve in still 10:46.440 --> 10:50.700 night of take a lot of pride in doing that a country intervals 10:50.700 --> 10:54.640 core copies as part of mentioned earlier. So so what I would 10:54.640 --> 10:58.780 say you said you know States marine corps stands ready to meet 10:58.780 --> 11:02.300 the challenges of the future and we'll be ready when the nation's initially. 11:04.050 --> 11:06.790 For such question comes. Up. 11:11.090 --> 11:14.140 Think about the future the marine corps as we move for an an 11:14.140 --> 11:15.300 twenty first century. 11:16.610 --> 11:18.420 What topics are most on your mind. 11:19.390 --> 11:23.050 Is idea to think about the future will of william one thing come 11:23.050 --> 11:26.700 to mind is introduce operations and the ships to train with that's 11:26.700 --> 11:30.070 the first thing come tomorrow by use the ship's train with so 11:30.270 --> 11:33.440 bows of the type of things and think about book of one I think 11:33.440 --> 11:37.830 about the asian pacific peter. What I I think of its partner capacity. 11:38.350 --> 11:41.500 I think about training with our op foreigners and our allies 11:41.500 --> 11:45.490 in that region of so that when something happens it will be the 11:45.490 --> 11:49.240 first time that we're seeing each other it's not the first time 11:49.490 --> 11:53.320 in we're talking about the more equal planning process or is 11:53.320 --> 11:57.220 not the first time window see of my marines and sailors and so 11:57.220 --> 12:01.560 when you head that Piper relationship. It makes a for moving 12:01.560 --> 12:05.200 into a really very difficult situation of or challenge a situation 12:05.200 --> 12:06.720 like and ha D are at war. 12:07.370 --> 12:12.070 Process of type operation. It makes a lot better win you hear 12:12.140 --> 12:16.440 had an opportunity train ago such as valid are more in you that 12:16.440 --> 12:19.570 same each other's vessel peas a standard operating procedure. 12:19.570 --> 12:23.250 So that's that's the thing that I pick apart though when I start 12:23.250 --> 12:26.390 thinking about the future in where we're going in terms of asia 12:26.390 --> 12:30.590 pacific is there a lot of challenges out there and I think there's 12:30.590 --> 12:34.100 armoring core we need to be ready to respond all those challenges. 12:35.450 --> 12:39.230 What can and since erupt excess the on that has a lot of moving 12:39.230 --> 12:43.220 parts IDC. We're hearing ten panels and then we're we're with 12:43.290 --> 12:47.600 fifth rains over a mound Palm's Wall parts of the exercise are 12:47.600 --> 12:52.530 you most looking forward to seeing world it for me getting down 12:52.590 --> 12:55.830 and talk to the maurice the the lance called as an Pia seeds 12:56.210 --> 13:00.360 of because they're extremely very talented and they they're ignore 13:00.360 --> 13:03.700 their job and they take a lot of pride in showing in demonstrating 13:03.700 --> 13:06.790 to you that they know your job so I'm looking for to getting 13:06.790 --> 13:12.700 out of with our clients am also oh extremely pleased in a. 13:13.250 --> 13:19.040 I'll for my best to see or one with a large number of assets 13:19.040 --> 13:23.110 that they put on the field. So oh wow we you're looking at this 13:23.110 --> 13:28.760 is a division level exercise of the elements of in no guy thirty 13:28.760 --> 13:34.520 of for synergy of see our own one that's providing the support 13:34.520 --> 13:37.720 that we need really tremendous support and the thousands and 13:37.720 --> 13:41.460 thousand roughly about two thousand of the reason sailors from 13:41.460 --> 13:43.020 the come that logistic rich me. 13:44.300 --> 13:45.080 To you. 13:45.650 --> 13:49.440 Orbit about kia than junior marines and wanting the seas unmanned. 13:49.630 --> 13:52.940 How talented they are doing counterinsurgency operations through 13:52.940 --> 13:57.070 those junior marines were instrumental in delivering the commanders 13:57.070 --> 14:01.280 intent all the way down so lawless I will do you anticipate any 14:01.280 --> 14:04.660 change as far as the roles of those junior marines won't when 14:04.660 --> 14:08.850 it comes to amphibious landing operations. Well I would say that 14:09.210 --> 14:12.550 the the we start talking about dealing lance corporal the core 14:12.550 --> 14:15.220 pause and Pia season those marines. 14:15.830 --> 14:18.750 And their role in Qatar counterinsurgency operations more from 14:18.750 --> 14:22.640 orchestrated live opera up operations perspective. It was that 14:22.640 --> 14:27.970 type of the strategic or paul very smart. Sure our marine that 14:27.970 --> 14:31.240 carry the day they will continue to carry the day because its 14:31.240 --> 14:34.510 leadership of the lawyers smells of that cops the mission and 14:34.510 --> 14:38.900 so when they understand intent of the knee operation it to it 14:38.900 --> 14:43.270 helps everyone so I'm very proud of those mores because one they're 14:43.270 --> 14:47.150 very talented and no the tree and they take the initiative and 14:47.150 --> 14:49.760 they have never feel took option mission. So the heir to the 14:49.760 --> 14:53.990 legacy of our core of career professionalism while work and dedication. 14:54.920 --> 14:58.790 Research is if anything else about excess steel night or valet 14:58.790 --> 15:02.650 market you'd like to talk about stern were on the very please 15:02.650 --> 15:07.340 the with what has happened thus far in the mob of rebels looted. 15:07.340 --> 15:10.230 My staff and told commanders in the marines and sailors for making 15:10.230 --> 15:11.730 this a very successful operation. 15:12.860 --> 15:14.150 Thank you for your time sir. 15:14.750 --> 15:17.940 That concludes that interview with first marine divisions commanding 15:17.940 --> 15:21.790 general major general ronald bailey and that conversation with 15:21.790 --> 15:23.680 him about exercise steal my..
