00:02.446 --> 00:05.632
(wind)
(mumbled orders)

00:05.632 --> 00:08.506
- So the biggest purpose of Platinum Eagle 17.2

00:08.506 --> 00:10.058
up here in Babadag in Romania

00:10.058 --> 00:11.774
is to develop some inter-operability

00:11.774 --> 00:13.746
within our allies in the region

00:13.746 --> 00:15.663
and that came to this exercise,

00:15.663 --> 00:19.663
as well as promote some stability in the region.

00:20.446 --> 00:23.433
^During Platinum Eagle 17.2 in Babadag, Romania,

00:23.433 --> 00:27.425
^the Marines have trained on demolitions with the Canadians,

00:27.425 --> 00:29.366
they've done the patrolling exercises

00:29.366 --> 00:31.649
at the tree line with the Ukrainians,

00:31.649 --> 00:33.304
then they've also worked along

00:33.304 --> 00:35.861
the Romanians and Bulgarian side.

00:35.861 --> 00:38.694
(inspiring music)

00:48.435 --> 00:51.302
- I think the best part about training in this environment

00:51.302 --> 00:53.191
has just been the variety of skills

00:53.191 --> 00:56.680
^that we've been able to work on and really hone

00:56.680 --> 00:59.594
^going into other ops that we may have.

01:10.033 --> 01:10.866
(rocket launcherfire)

01:10.866 --> 01:11.778
- [Capt. Bryson Johnson] Coming out of this exercise,

01:11.778 --> 01:14.833
I hope our Marines remember the tactics and techniques

01:14.833 --> 01:16.577
they've learned from our allies,

01:16.577 --> 01:18.972
as well as going through barriers,

01:18.972 --> 01:22.010
whether it's language barriers, cultural barriers.

01:22.010 --> 01:24.927
