00:00.496 --> 00:03.496
(heavy metal music)

00:14.304 --> 00:16.801
^- The main purpose of an AV is to bring troops

00:16.801 --> 00:19.764
from ship to shore for amphibious assaults.

00:19.764 --> 00:22.837
We can probably get an entire infantry squad loaded up.

00:22.837 --> 00:24.665
Normally with infantry in the back,

00:24.665 --> 00:27.395
about 18 personnel and then a three-man crew,

00:27.395 --> 00:31.562
consisting of a driver, a rear crewman and a gunner.

00:33.675 --> 00:35.327
To hit a beach or an objective,

00:35.327 --> 00:37.991
if we're doing a raid or something similar to that nature.

00:37.991 --> 00:40.290
We'll let off the infantry and then they'll start moving up.

00:40.290 --> 00:42.869
As they move forward of our amphibious assault vehicles,

00:42.869 --> 00:44.839
then we start to generally cut fire.

00:44.839 --> 00:46.320
Once they get to a safe distance,

00:46.320 --> 00:48.054
we'll start bounding up with them and keep 'em engaging.

00:48.054 --> 00:49.587
A lot of the bounding that we do

00:49.587 --> 00:51.386
is extremely similar to how they operate.

00:51.386 --> 00:55.553
We operate in fours, as well, similar to fire teams.

00:57.366 --> 00:59.648
- When we're with the Japanese,

00:59.648 --> 01:02.281
it gives me and my younger marines

01:02.281 --> 01:04.949
^an insight on what it would be like

01:04.949 --> 01:08.366
^if we had to work with foreign countries.

01:09.402 --> 01:12.140
And, obviously, language barrier,

01:12.140 --> 01:13.979
but with the help of interpreters

01:13.979 --> 01:15.713
we get over it pretty fast.

01:15.713 --> 01:18.288
We're marines, we all use hand and arm signals.

01:18.288 --> 01:21.371
They understand hand and arm signals.

01:21.614 --> 01:23.953
The capabilities that we're teaching them

01:23.953 --> 01:25.809
would be speed and maneuverability

01:25.809 --> 01:27.558
that our Avs bring to the fight,

01:27.558 --> 01:28.824
as well as, being armored

01:28.824 --> 01:31.657
and having our two weapon systems.

01:32.645 --> 01:35.478
We're all about live fire maneuver

01:36.282 --> 01:38.243
and shoot, move, communicate.

01:38.243 --> 01:41.160
We're good at it, it's what we do.
