00:11.039 --> 00:13.099
- [Announcer] Every day, soldiers across the army

00:13.099 --> 00:15.255
conduct training to improve their ability

00:15.255 --> 00:18.640
to work as a team and accomplish any mission.

00:18.640 --> 00:21.246
Today, that story is no different.

00:21.246 --> 00:24.305
Soldiers participating in the army war-fighting assessment

00:24.305 --> 00:27.977
had the opportunity not only to train but also be part

00:27.977 --> 00:32.144
of shaping the future of army systems and capabilities.

00:32.690 --> 00:34.720
- We're just ensuring that new equipment

00:34.720 --> 00:37.324
that's being injected is gonna be working properly

00:37.324 --> 00:39.771
in conjunction with the systems that are out there,

00:39.771 --> 00:43.002
specifically the Thors that are considered still in use

00:43.002 --> 00:46.002
for our dismount assessments sector.

00:46.928 --> 00:49.089
- [Announcer] Using technologies such as the Thor

00:49.089 --> 00:50.494
is something that typically only

00:50.494 --> 00:53.077
happens in combat environments.

00:53.132 --> 00:54.715
- [Soldier] So for us to have the ability to test

00:54.715 --> 00:58.882
here in the United States, it's something that's very unique

00:59.499 --> 01:02.880
and it provides us, like I said, pretty much the ability

01:02.880 --> 01:05.762
to assess, to ensure that anything that gets fielded

01:05.762 --> 01:08.995
prior to approval is gonna work actually out there,

01:08.995 --> 01:10.296
which will provide that much more safety

01:10.296 --> 01:12.002
for the soldiers out in the sector.

01:12.002 --> 01:13.873
- [Announcer] This unique blend of training and assessment

01:13.873 --> 01:16.825
is the approach the army is taking to over 40 different

01:16.825 --> 01:18.931
concepts and capabilities throughout

01:18.931 --> 01:21.470
the three-week army war-fighting assessment.

01:21.470 --> 01:23.845
Reporting from White Sands Missile Range,

01:23.845 --> 01:26.345
I'm Army Sergeant Alan Brutus.
