(upbeat techno music)

00:12.376 --> 00:15.457
^- For ARG/MEUEX, our purpose, at least for the Navy,

00:15.457 --> 00:18.609
^as well as the Navy Marine Corps team, is to learn

00:18.609 --> 00:20.020
and to integrate towards one another,

00:20.020 --> 00:23.089
so that we can combine the Navy and the Marine Corps'

00:23.089 --> 00:26.859
capabilities together for a single potent fighting force.

00:26.859 --> 00:30.026
(upbeat techno music)

00:33.136 --> 00:35.799
^- The ARG/MEUEX, or the ARG/MEU, I should say,

00:35.799 --> 00:38.966
^is known as the crisis response force,

00:39.823 --> 00:43.135
and we're there to answer the bell when called

00:43.135 --> 00:46.709
across the world, and we bring combat power to bear.

00:46.709 --> 00:49.626
It's a pretty big role that we play

00:50.175 --> 00:53.583
and a pretty big role that National Command Authority

00:53.583 --> 00:56.916
draws on to meet conflicts in the world.

00:57.949 --> 01:01.116
(upbeat techno music)

01:08.343 --> 01:10.501
- Being away at sea and operating from at sea

01:10.501 --> 01:12.751
is very unique to the Navy,

01:14.944 --> 01:16.923
and it presents its own unique challenges

01:16.923 --> 01:18.358
because we don't have resources that are

01:18.358 --> 01:21.108
beyond the lifelines of the ship.

01:21.565 --> 01:24.732
(upbeat techno music)

01:26.862 --> 01:29.064
- There are quite a few Marines on board

01:29.064 --> 01:32.202
that have never been on a big gray ship before;

01:32.202 --> 01:33.721
there's also even some sailors

01:33.721 --> 01:36.888
that have never operated with Marines.

01:38.499 --> 01:41.844
- It's about refining and exercising the unique capabilities

01:41.844 --> 01:44.499
^that each of us bring to the table

01:44.499 --> 01:47.789
^in order to produce a combined Naval force

01:47.789 --> 01:50.542
that's uniquely postured to respond

01:50.542 --> 01:52.508
across the range of military operations.

01:52.508 --> 01:54.309
That's where the integration piece comes in.

01:54.309 --> 01:57.189
Bringing the two capabilities together, molding them,

01:57.189 --> 01:59.760
meshing them, allows us to be a force of choice

01:59.760 --> 02:02.175
when it comes to crisis response.

02:02.175 --> 02:05.342
(upbeat techno music)

02:08.658 --> 02:11.242
- The biggest tie-in here is that we're integrating well,

02:11.242 --> 02:13.696
and that integration is, we build those bonds,

02:13.696 --> 02:15.759
those relationships, and we build that trust;

02:15.759 --> 02:17.259
and through that trust we're gonna be able

02:17.259 --> 02:20.235
to accomplish anything our nation needs us to do overseas.

02:20.235 --> 02:23.402
