00:01.117 --> 00:03.700
(lively music)

00:05.233 --> 00:07.816
(wind blowing)

00:08.115 --> 00:09.905
^- The landing phase of Exercise Talisman Saber

00:09.905 --> 00:12.794
^just kicked off here on the beaches of Townshend Island.

00:12.794 --> 00:15.278
The Marines came ashore utilizing the Navy's LPAG's

00:15.278 --> 00:18.111
and their own amphibious vehicles.

00:18.395 --> 00:19.587
The Sailors and Marines worked together

00:19.587 --> 00:20.978
with the Australian Forces

00:20.978 --> 00:23.172
to make sure everything ran smoothly.

00:23.172 --> 00:24.964
There are many different pieces to this exercise,

00:24.964 --> 00:29.047
and they all have to fit together to get it done.

00:29.996 --> 00:32.718
- I've worked often with the U.S. Navy

00:32.718 --> 00:33.896
^and indeed the U.S. Military,

00:33.896 --> 00:35.647
^whether it be a RIMPAC exercise,

00:35.647 --> 00:37.642
^whether it be an Axis exercise in command,

00:37.642 --> 00:39.435
or in date, a Talisman Saber.

00:39.435 --> 00:42.362
So to me, personally, it's an excellent opportunity

00:42.362 --> 00:44.876
just to reaffirm what we already know,

00:44.876 --> 00:47.398
which is that U.S. Forces, U.S. Navy,

00:47.398 --> 00:50.732
are an absolute vital and important ally to us,

00:50.732 --> 00:52.565
and I think us to you.

00:52.763 --> 00:54.998
- [Jacob] They got everything ashore by sea or by air

00:54.998 --> 00:56.663
and successfully set up camp,

00:56.663 --> 00:59.927
and are ready for the real training to start.
