^- [Narrator] The 947th and 716th Quarter Master companies

00:09.282 --> 00:11.554
^joined forced and staked out a small section of the more

00:11.554 --> 00:14.999
than 17,000 acres of ranges at joint base MacGuire-Dix

00:14.999 --> 00:16.832
Lakehurst for a QLLEX.

00:16.969 --> 00:19.214
The quarter master liquid logistics exercise

00:19.214 --> 00:22.094
has had over a 150 soldiers moving 80,000

00:22.094 --> 00:24.829
gallons though their fuel system supply point.

00:24.829 --> 00:27.774
^- The goal is to clean the fuel to recirculate the

00:27.774 --> 00:30.029
^fuel, to make sure that we know that our

00:30.029 --> 00:32.507
FSSP works the way we set it up works,

00:32.507 --> 00:34.008
and that we know how to do our job.

00:34.008 --> 00:35.286
- [Narrator] In the military, we know not

00:35.286 --> 00:37.837
everything always goes exactly the way it should.

00:37.837 --> 00:39.653
That's why organizers of the QLLEX are hoping

00:39.653 --> 00:42.469
to give the most realistic experience as possible, so

00:42.469 --> 00:44.392
no one is caught off-guard.

00:44.392 --> 00:47.324
- You can teach a soldier how to everything

00:47.324 --> 00:50.844
from a book, but it's not gonna be the same thing

00:50.844 --> 00:53.163
once you hit the ground, and once you realize

00:53.163 --> 00:55.565
that it's not as easy as it sounds.

00:55.565 --> 00:57.891
So, it helps us prepare physically and mentally

00:57.891 --> 00:59.458
for the challenges that we're gonna have,

00:59.458 --> 01:01.672
if we ever do get deployed.
