00:07.228 --> 00:10.145
(thundering drums)

00:36.075 --> 00:39.985
^- So it's a great exercise for joint operations

00:39.985 --> 00:42.818
^and we had more than 150 aircraft,

00:43.133 --> 00:47.300
6,000 personnel, in the air, on the land and at sea.

00:50.159 --> 00:53.026
The scenarios that I had a chance to witness

00:53.026 --> 00:55.276
were extremely challenging.

00:55.366 --> 00:59.116
We try to make it as hard as we can on the...

00:59.599 --> 01:02.700
Blue Forces, i.e., the friendly forces that are training.

01:02.700 --> 01:05.033
Very tough problems to solve

01:05.042 --> 01:07.292
for our young crew members,

01:07.593 --> 01:08.426
so that...

01:08.966 --> 01:11.936
if they ever have to execute this in combat,

01:11.936 --> 01:15.459
the combat is actually easier than the training.

01:15.459 --> 01:17.606
I'm very thankful that we have

01:17.606 --> 01:20.127
a group of citizens in our state, here,

01:20.127 --> 01:23.460
that value that training that we do here

01:23.829 --> 01:27.088
and allow us to that both over land and over water.

01:27.088 --> 01:31.202
Because, it's extremely important for the capability

01:31.202 --> 01:34.300
of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines

01:34.300 --> 01:36.383
to be able to practice...

01:37.250 --> 01:38.417
their craft...

01:38.460 --> 01:40.628
so that they're as good as they can be

01:40.628 --> 01:44.711
if they're ever called to do their jobs for real.

01:44.994 --> 01:48.077
