00:04.764 --> 00:07.181
(soft music)

00:13.430 --> 00:15.381
^- This particular exercise saw the Mactaff

00:15.381 --> 00:18.714
^deploy elements to the country of Jordan

00:19.398 --> 00:22.114
^to conduct really a collective training event.

00:22.114 --> 00:25.644
We have assault support assets from Vietnam 363,

00:25.644 --> 00:26.921
we have a crisis response platoon

00:26.921 --> 00:29.694
from the ground combat element, marines from the

00:29.694 --> 00:31.296
marine wing support squad to provide

00:31.296 --> 00:34.258
aviation ground support all the aviation assets

00:34.258 --> 00:36.863
out here as well as a portion of the logistics

00:36.863 --> 00:39.779
combat element to provide non combatant evacuation

00:39.779 --> 00:43.946
operations capability from here in central Jordan.

00:44.085 --> 00:47.036
- The table behind me is where you will submit that item.

00:47.036 --> 00:48.615
- It was a great opportunity to put together

00:48.615 --> 00:50.962
a lot of small kind of component level

00:50.962 --> 00:53.320
training so for example our ground combat element

00:53.320 --> 00:56.180
has done training prior to the deployment

00:56.180 --> 00:58.716
throughout the deployment focused on your platoon

00:58.716 --> 01:00.872
level attacks and small unit tactics.

01:00.872 --> 01:02.869
The aviation squadron have done a lot of flying,

01:02.869 --> 01:05.005
provide support throughout the whole area

01:05.005 --> 01:08.140
of operations as well as the logistics combat

01:08.140 --> 01:09.858
element is done, lots of you know kind

01:09.858 --> 01:12.621
of individual units training but this mission

01:12.621 --> 01:15.361
rehearsal exercise saw us put all of those

01:15.361 --> 01:18.078
component training events together under one exercise

01:18.078 --> 01:19.820
with the command element providing

01:19.820 --> 01:22.118
what we would call a forward command element

01:22.118 --> 01:23.930
to provide command and control over all

01:23.930 --> 01:27.847
of those elements operating within the country.

01:28.829 --> 01:31.105
- Alright sounds good, I'm just having a wonderful

01:31.105 --> 01:34.105
day right trying to get out of here.

01:37.862 --> 01:40.529
(intense music)

02:01.248 --> 02:04.248
(upbeat rock music)
