00:05.040 --> 00:07.262
while motor transport marines make sure

00:07.262 --> 00:09.318
supplies and personnel are delivered

00:09.318 --> 00:11.540
throughout the Al Anbar province . Just

00:11.540 --> 00:13.762
as important are the marines behind the

00:13.762 --> 00:15.484
scenes marines with motor team

00:15.484 --> 00:17.484
maintenance and Marine headquarters

00:17.484 --> 00:19.429
group truck company worked day and

00:19.429 --> 00:21.540
night , making sure the vehicles used

00:21.540 --> 00:23.762
in convoys are not only operational but

00:23.762 --> 00:25.929
safe . We've got lots of convoys going

00:25.929 --> 00:25.650
on so we got to make sure there

00:25.840 --> 00:27.950
prepared so that when they go out

00:27.960 --> 00:30.170
nothing happens to them . Pretty much

00:30.170 --> 00:32.170
so that their mission ready . These

00:32.170 --> 00:34.392
marines go out on convoys with the rest

00:34.392 --> 00:36.503
of truck company , but when a vehicle

00:36.503 --> 00:38.726
breaks down or has a malfunction , they

00:38.726 --> 00:40.781
are there to fix it on the spot . If

00:40.781 --> 00:42.892
the problem is more severe , a record

00:42.892 --> 00:45.059
operator is on hand to tow the vehicle

00:45.059 --> 00:47.170
to the nearest third country national

00:47.170 --> 00:49.392
Lot or coalition site for repair . If a

00:49.392 --> 00:51.760
truck goes down , going out on a convoy ,

00:52.240 --> 00:54.240
we might get hit with I . D . Or we

00:54.240 --> 00:56.296
might get small arms fire , truck is

00:56.296 --> 00:59.070
broken down , we got hooked that up and

00:59.070 --> 01:01.760
just push forward . These marines have

01:01.760 --> 01:03.816
the task of not only being a motor T

01:03.816 --> 01:06.150
operator but also a mechanic or record

01:06.150 --> 01:08.450
operator and many of them cross trained

01:08.450 --> 01:11.330
within the motor T mos . These marines

01:11.330 --> 01:13.441
are more than part time mechanics and

01:13.441 --> 01:15.663
vehicle enthusiasts . Their task is one

01:15.663 --> 01:17.886
that ensures the safety of their fellow

01:17.886 --> 01:19.441
marines and overall mission

01:19.441 --> 01:21.608

01:21.608 --> 01:23.830
