00:06.101 --> 00:08.453
- Ah, real life training, right?

00:08.453 --> 00:10.186
So people call this annual training,

00:10.186 --> 00:11.988
but this is a mission to us.

00:11.988 --> 00:13.147
Our soldiers are stretched.

00:13.147 --> 00:15.019
They bend, but they don't break,

00:15.019 --> 00:17.132
and this is real, real-life training.

00:17.132 --> 00:18.588
- [Adam] Army reserve soldiers

00:18.588 --> 00:22.560
of the 1182nd Deployment Distribution Support Battalion

00:22.560 --> 00:25.866
and the 302nd Inland Cargo Transfer Company

00:25.866 --> 00:28.903
are supporting Operation Transmariner 2017

00:28.903 --> 00:31.886
at the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point

00:31.886 --> 00:33.321
in North Carolina.

00:33.321 --> 00:35.079
Lieutenant General Charles D. Lucky,

00:35.079 --> 00:38.589
chief of Army Reserve and commanding general

00:38.589 --> 00:40.720
of the United States Army Reserve Command

00:40.720 --> 00:44.687
envisions increasing the lethality of the Army Reserve.

00:44.687 --> 00:46.581
The discharging and uploading of containers

00:46.581 --> 00:48.331
supports this vision.

00:48.621 --> 00:50.748
- This mission upholds to General Lucky's

00:50.748 --> 00:52.546
lethality for the Army Reserves

00:52.546 --> 00:54.227
because we have multiple units

00:54.227 --> 00:55.759
from different locations throughout the country

00:55.759 --> 00:58.842
participating in this one major event

00:58.957 --> 01:01.136
on the East Coast which, in a time of war

01:01.136 --> 01:03.650
or immediate response, we have things

01:03.650 --> 01:06.113
prepared for us to go to war right away.

01:06.113 --> 01:07.404
- [Adam] Logistics is the organization

01:07.404 --> 01:11.571
of moving housing and supplying troops and equipment.

01:11.762 --> 01:15.187
- The small piece of the Army is just moving cargo,

01:15.187 --> 01:17.937
moving ammunition, moving people,

01:18.825 --> 01:21.922
moving anything that needs to get to a certain place

01:21.922 --> 01:23.716
and needs to be there by a certain time,

01:23.716 --> 01:25.984
and I have to feel honored to do that.

01:25.984 --> 01:28.469
- I mean, we are moving the ordinance

01:28.469 --> 01:31.693
that's gonna, well, fight tomorrow's battles, right?

01:31.693 --> 01:34.131
Protecting our soldiers, protecting our way of life.

01:34.131 --> 01:38.048
If the Reserves are not there, who would it be?

01:38.297 --> 01:40.859
If it's at my level or for that grunt in the field,

01:40.859 --> 01:42.997
I mean, we're all one team, one fight.

01:42.997 --> 01:45.414
- [Adam] Transmariner 2017 is

01:45.470 --> 01:47.826
a joint operation between the National Guard,

01:47.826 --> 01:49.743
Army, and Army Reserve.

01:50.319 --> 01:54.236
For the Army Reserve, I'm Sergeant Adam Decker.
