00:02.939 --> 00:03.772
^- Hey, Marines.

00:03.772 --> 00:04.945
^Lance Corporal Samantha Bray here.

00:04.945 --> 00:09.070
This week two F-35B Lightning II Aircraft made their way

00:09.070 --> 00:11.851
from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni to Kadena

00:11.851 --> 00:14.433
Air Force Base, Okinawa, Japan.

00:14.433 --> 00:17.744
This marks the first arrival of the aircraft in Okinawa.

00:17.744 --> 00:21.395
The new aircraft will be replacing both the AV-8B Harrier

00:21.395 --> 00:23.671
and the F/A-18 Hornet.

00:23.671 --> 00:26.414
Also in the news, marines and sailors with 2nd Intelligence

00:26.414 --> 00:28.930
Battalion with 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force are

00:28.930 --> 00:30.760
partnering up with British soldiers

00:30.760 --> 00:33.427
for Exercise Phoenix Odyssey 17.

00:34.442 --> 00:36.494
Sergeant Christopher Robertson, an Imagery Analysis

00:36.494 --> 00:39.395
Specialist said intelligence is not the most physically

00:39.395 --> 00:42.063
demanding, but it is mentally demanding as far

00:42.063 --> 00:44.369
as having to read and analyze and work through

00:44.369 --> 00:45.910
all of that information.

00:45.910 --> 00:49.160
So having that mental toughness is key.

00:50.008 --> 00:52.505
The exercise allows us to share war fighting capabilities

00:52.505 --> 00:56.364
with our allies in the event of a real world operation.

00:56.364 --> 00:58.864
And that's your Marine Minute.
