00:00.124 --> 00:02.070
(automatic weapon fire)

00:02.070 --> 00:05.820
(anticipatory pulsing music)

00:07.475 --> 00:09.373
- The mindset out here?

00:09.373 --> 00:11.623
^For a competition like this

00:12.026 --> 00:13.026
^animalistic.

00:13.889 --> 00:15.976
You have to be prepared to do

00:15.976 --> 00:18.055
things that you just don't wanna do.

00:18.055 --> 00:20.770
You have to go beyond what you're capable of doing.

00:20.770 --> 00:23.856
You want to reach that person in front of you,

00:23.856 --> 00:26.606
pass that person in front of you.

00:29.187 --> 00:32.311
This week we have the annual rifle squad

00:32.311 --> 00:34.281
crew-served weapons competition.

00:34.281 --> 00:36.127
We basically take all the major subordinate

00:36.127 --> 00:38.255
elements throughout 3rd Marine Division

00:38.255 --> 00:40.947
and we bring them together for a competition

00:40.947 --> 00:43.375
amongst each other just to build the comaraderie

00:43.375 --> 00:45.719
and competitive spirit once again

00:45.719 --> 00:47.504
back with inside the division.

00:47.504 --> 00:48.636
- Right of the one you just shot

00:48.636 --> 00:51.003
the deepest one on the right side.

00:51.003 --> 00:53.467
- In the beginning you just wanna get to the

00:53.467 --> 00:55.484
halfway point, and you then just wanna push

00:55.484 --> 00:56.856
all the way to the end.

00:56.856 --> 00:58.396
You gotta go hard all the way

00:58.396 --> 00:59.805
in order to get a good time.

00:59.805 --> 01:01.948
Yeah the gear's heavy and everything like that

01:01.948 --> 01:04.000
but we're all in pretty good shape so

01:04.000 --> 01:06.990
it's not too bad, it could be a lot worse.

01:06.990 --> 01:08.728
But it's a good time when you're all

01:08.728 --> 01:10.670
^sticking together and you're moving fast

01:10.670 --> 01:13.503
^and you end up finishing together.

01:14.619 --> 01:16.866
- And it's also competition because

01:16.866 --> 01:19.366
the O3s don't wanna be beat by

01:20.055 --> 01:22.138
a non-infantry battalion.

01:22.572 --> 01:25.779
^So it builds their morale up and makes Marines

01:25.779 --> 01:29.946
^work harder than what they actually think they can work.

01:31.325 --> 01:32.287
- We're out here fully deployed

01:32.287 --> 01:34.115
with a mission to fight tonight.

01:34.115 --> 01:36.799
So we wanna test that skills and then within that

01:36.799 --> 01:39.192
provide that competitive feeling amongst each other

01:39.192 --> 01:41.486
to force them just to go a little bit further.

01:41.486 --> 01:44.565
We look for, they say war is a battle of wills,

01:44.565 --> 01:46.314
that's all the Marine Corps has.

01:46.314 --> 01:47.833
Will of these Marines goes beyond any

01:47.833 --> 01:49.591
weapons system that we own.

01:49.591 --> 01:50.742
And they accomplish greater things

01:50.742 --> 01:52.296
than anybody ever even thought of.

01:52.296 --> 01:53.213
- Let's go!

01:54.570 --> 01:55.403
- Come on --

01:55.403 --> 01:56.236
- Come on!
- We're waiting for you.

01:56.236 --> 01:57.069
- Let's go, let's go it's right there!

01:57.069 --> 01:57.902
- Come on!

01:57.902 --> 02:00.250
- Hold up, hold up. Let's be as a team.

02:00.250 --> 02:01.083
- Let's go!

02:01.083 --> 02:01.916
- Let's go.
- Let's go, let's go.

02:01.916 --> 02:03.227
- Depending on how fast you are.

02:03.227 --> 02:04.060
- Yup!
