00:04.439 --> 00:05.272
- Fire.

00:05.272 --> 00:06.527
(cannon blast)

00:06.527 --> 00:07.928
^- Over the past couple of days,

00:07.928 --> 00:10.483
^we have brought our entire battalion

00:10.483 --> 00:12.733
onto the field, artillery battalion,

00:12.733 --> 00:14.372
2nd Battalion, 11th Marines.

00:14.372 --> 00:16.718
Up until now, last night at midnight,

00:16.718 --> 00:18.679
we have been in what's called battery phase,

00:18.679 --> 00:21.316
in which the sub units of the battalion

00:21.316 --> 00:23.867
exercise their training objectives,

00:23.867 --> 00:26.617
and what they want to accomplish.

00:27.965 --> 00:29.186
^- Why it's important, is because it's integral

00:29.186 --> 00:31.352
^in making sure that all the different levels

00:31.352 --> 00:33.173
^are being accounted for,

00:33.173 --> 00:36.090
as far as how we get fire missions,

00:36.921 --> 00:38.835
so pretty much it comes all the way down the line

00:38.835 --> 00:41.165
from Battalion, and then pretty much just making sure

00:41.165 --> 00:43.895
that on down the line, everybody receives it clearly,

00:43.895 --> 00:44.758
and everything's done safely.

00:44.758 --> 00:45.591
- Fire.

00:45.591 --> 00:46.601
(cannon blast)

00:46.601 --> 00:47.434
- Let's go, let's go.
