00:00.875 --> 00:02.726
(person coughing)

00:02.810 --> 00:04.270
- So right now we're at MCTAB,

00:04.270 --> 00:07.033
Marine Corps Training Area Bellows on Oahu, Hawaii.

00:07.750 --> 00:10.100
^And today we have been, actually for the past couple days,

00:10.100 --> 00:13.130
^we've been running continuous operations here in MCTAB,

00:13.130 --> 00:14.523
as a CAP platoon.

00:14.701 --> 00:19.701
(soldiers chattering)
(vehicle bumping along road)

00:21.657 --> 00:23.330
- [Spencer Voiceover] We're going on a mission.

00:23.330 --> 00:24.963
Took our trucks outside the FOB.

00:25.360 --> 00:26.913
Supposed to be security patrol,

00:26.980 --> 00:30.457
however we took an IED blast during the danger area.

00:30.457 --> 00:32.526
- [Radio] Two is hit with an IED.

00:32.526 --> 00:35.276
^- What we've been experiencing here throughout the week

00:35.390 --> 00:39.690
^is that after an IED blast there's usually a ambush

00:39.690 --> 00:42.840
that happens, so the biggest thing is to provide security

00:42.840 --> 00:44.020
and make sure there's no ambush.

00:44.020 --> 00:46.073
And if there is we can take out the threat.

00:46.210 --> 00:48.160
Means get that vehicle out of the area,

00:48.720 --> 00:51.170
and we need to return home safely with everybody.

00:52.260 --> 00:54.110
- When we got that first initial hit,

00:54.210 --> 00:55.310
we definitely kept it secret from them,

00:55.310 --> 00:56.410
they didn't expect it.

00:56.470 --> 00:58.560
I was pretty happy with the way they fanned out,

00:58.560 --> 01:00.451
got security, and tried to load up those casual--

01:00.451 --> 01:05.118
(vehicle noise drowns out other sounds)
