00:00.460 --> 00:02.258
(tape rewinding)

00:02.258 --> 00:04.952
(dramatic rock music)

00:04.952 --> 00:07.775
^- In sticks of 15 marines we're going

00:07.775 --> 00:10.108
^to quickly move to our bird.

00:11.633 --> 00:13.063
We're going to hop on the bird,

00:13.063 --> 00:15.754
set our packs down the center, muzzles facing down,

00:15.754 --> 00:18.556
all our weapons and stuff with all the heavy weight

00:18.556 --> 00:19.849
towards the center of the bird,

00:19.849 --> 00:21.613
we're gonna get buckled and take off.

00:21.613 --> 00:24.648
These on-load/off-load drills are important so that

00:24.648 --> 00:26.362
when it comes time for us to do it for real,

00:26.362 --> 00:28.767
the marines aren't wasting time and we can quickly

00:28.767 --> 00:31.226
insert wherever we need to be.

00:31.226 --> 00:32.646
The reason we're doing it in mountain ice 'cause

00:32.646 --> 00:35.280
in a couple days from now, we will be actually

00:35.280 --> 00:36.774
getting in birds and helo-inserting

00:36.774 --> 00:38.941
into our AO for the FINEX.

00:39.589 --> 00:43.253
^- We'll be inserting, extracting the ground marines

00:43.253 --> 00:46.376
^into different LZ's and in this mountainous area

00:46.376 --> 00:50.209
it's very, very difficult, some of the terrain

00:50.373 --> 00:52.550
but we have great pilots that are able

00:52.550 --> 00:54.550
to do anything anywhere.
