00:05.118 --> 00:05.951
- So,

00:06.394 --> 00:09.897
what, when we're talking about anti access,

00:09.897 --> 00:11.897
and area denial, I view,

00:13.412 --> 00:15.940
there's a number of things I can refer to.

00:15.940 --> 00:19.372
The one that I think we're talking about here

00:19.372 --> 00:23.539
is a family of systems that provide anti-air capability,

00:26.197 --> 00:29.614
and anti-strike capability combined, and,

00:29.664 --> 00:30.914
and, so that's,

00:32.276 --> 00:35.026
those systems are just an example

00:35.748 --> 00:39.915
of what adversaries can bring to challenge military force,

00:41.379 --> 00:43.046
and so, how we adapt

00:45.307 --> 00:47.890
is to any, in the give and take

00:49.103 --> 00:52.400
of what our adversaries can bring to bear against us

00:52.400 --> 00:56.317
is no different than any other time in history.

00:58.749 --> 01:02.916
We look at what we need to do in order to be able to operate

01:03.297 --> 01:06.159
and accomplish our objectives, and how we can do that

01:06.159 --> 01:08.492
with the least risk, and so,

01:08.638 --> 01:11.084
we look at the systems that potential adversaries

01:11.084 --> 01:13.418
might have, and identify how we would operate

01:13.418 --> 01:17.418
against those systems, and so, in our exercises,

01:18.264 --> 01:19.468
Blue Chromite included,

01:19.468 --> 01:22.968
are just examples of a continual evolution

01:23.829 --> 01:25.329
in how we operate,

01:26.603 --> 01:28.270
and plan to operate,

01:28.962 --> 01:31.962
given our adversaries' capabilities.

01:34.944 --> 01:39.077
- The Navy Marine Corps team is a proven successful team.

01:39.077 --> 01:41.768
It has worked in the past, and it will work in the future.

01:41.768 --> 01:44.871
Today, we are fortunate enough to have new equipment,

01:44.871 --> 01:48.704
new capabilities, that we can employ together,

01:48.886 --> 01:50.714
and ensure that we're successful

01:50.714 --> 01:52.780
in a challenging environment,

01:52.780 --> 01:56.340
but an environment that is critical to US interest,

01:56.340 --> 01:59.829
and displaying the strength that we do on a daily basis

01:59.829 --> 02:03.137
that combined Blue Green Team has been very successful

02:03.137 --> 02:03.970
for us.

02:04.122 --> 02:08.289
It is winning the support and confidence of our allies

02:08.666 --> 02:11.785
and partners in the region, while at the same time,

02:11.785 --> 02:13.606
deterring our adversaries.

02:13.606 --> 02:14.648
It is a proven team.

02:14.648 --> 02:17.799
It will be successful into the future.

02:17.799 --> 02:20.783
Pacific region is critical to US interest.

02:20.783 --> 02:23.394
The Navy Marine Corps team protects,

02:23.394 --> 02:27.114
defends, reinforces our interests here in this region.

02:27.114 --> 02:30.665
It is a proven asset, it is something that we can do

02:30.665 --> 02:34.459
on very, very short notice, and it provides the flexibility

02:34.459 --> 02:38.626
to address numerous challenges across this vast region.

02:39.668 --> 02:40.501
- Um, so,

02:43.402 --> 02:45.485
the integration is great.

02:46.589 --> 02:49.940
I don't think we're looking to improve that,

02:49.940 --> 02:53.273
because, it is exactly where we want it.

02:54.149 --> 02:58.316
It's simply putting in the practice, and the time,

02:59.778 --> 03:01.519
to continue to work together,

03:01.519 --> 03:03.798
to improve our proficiency together,

03:03.798 --> 03:05.787
because that's how we'll operate.

03:05.787 --> 03:08.037
It's not every opportunity,

03:09.017 --> 03:10.684
every Blue Chromite,

03:12.046 --> 03:15.963
that we're able to bring a Navy amphibious ship

03:16.351 --> 03:17.593
into the exercise.

03:17.593 --> 03:20.948
I'm very happy that we're able to this time.

03:20.948 --> 03:23.758
It's been very successful already,

03:23.758 --> 03:27.609
and I expect even more as we complete the exercise.

03:27.609 --> 03:31.452
The crew of Green Bay is very excited about the opportunity,

03:31.452 --> 03:34.619
it's been a great opportunity for them

03:34.709 --> 03:36.876
to bring a different group

03:37.636 --> 03:41.803
of marines, and learn how we're able to bring them together,

03:43.541 --> 03:46.958
and operate very quickly on short notice,

03:47.314 --> 03:49.564
and we've proven that here,

03:49.799 --> 03:53.612
and they're very happy about the opportunity to do that,

03:53.612 --> 03:55.931
to show their ability to do that,

03:55.931 --> 03:57.884
and form a team very quickly.
