00:02.997 --> 00:06.164
(tank engine roaring)

00:06.840 --> 00:08.750
- Today, what we're gonna be doing this morning

00:08.750 --> 00:11.335
is splashing out to the USS Arlington

00:11.335 --> 00:13.806
in preparation for BaltOps 17,

00:13.806 --> 00:17.056
which is a multinational NATO exercise.

00:18.851 --> 00:21.506
- This is my first time doing this.

00:21.506 --> 00:22.489
Feeling pretty good.

00:22.489 --> 00:23.326
All the tracks are up.

00:23.326 --> 00:24.762
Nothing broke down.

00:24.762 --> 00:28.762
And everyone seems to be moving out pretty well.

00:28.954 --> 00:30.894
- What I want my marines to get out of this

00:30.894 --> 00:34.866
is the experience operating in foreign countries,

00:34.866 --> 00:38.245
with foreign militaries, with our NATO allies,

00:38.245 --> 00:41.292
and get the experience of just doing their job

00:41.292 --> 00:43.125
of amphibious assault.

00:45.810 --> 00:49.613
- The biggest motivating factor to me is we're tracks,

00:49.613 --> 00:50.618
we're amphibious.

00:50.618 --> 00:54.785
We go from ship to shore, land to sea, no questions asked.

00:55.086 --> 00:56.812
Other than that, how would you get out there?

00:56.812 --> 00:58.858
How would you go to a destination?

00:58.858 --> 01:00.941
We move the Marine Corps.
