00:21.385 --> 00:23.338
- During Admiral Cooper's tour of duty here,

00:23.338 --> 00:27.421
this command has grown both in readiness, itself,

00:27.548 --> 00:30.543
and in it's combined ability to fight together

00:30.543 --> 00:33.090
to defend the Republic of Korea.

00:41.785 --> 00:44.479
that Brad Cooper has established.

Momentum that has strengthened the alliance.

00:47.464 --> 00:51.565
I intend to build upon Rear Admiral Copper's initiatives,

00:51.565 --> 00:54.814
to seek out and remove barriers that prevent
