00:01.077 --> 00:03.744
(intense music)

00:06.530 --> 00:08.360
- Hey, Marines, Corporal Hodges here.

00:08.360 --> 00:10.430
Marines with II Marine Expeditionary Force

00:10.430 --> 00:13.820
recently took part in
Exercise Green Cannon 2018

00:13.820 --> 00:15.020
in Salisbury, England.

00:15.020 --> 00:16.680
While participating in the exercise,

00:16.680 --> 00:19.360
the marines took part in
live-fire exercises and

00:19.360 --> 00:22.680
various weapons demonstrations
by the U.S. and our allies.

00:22.680 --> 00:24.640
The purpose of the multinational exercise

00:24.640 --> 00:26.030
is for the countries participating

00:26.030 --> 00:27.930
to demonstrate their combat affectiveness,

00:27.930 --> 00:30.440
as well as exchange tactics
and techniques in order to

00:30.440 --> 00:33.820
increase cohesion between
the regions' military forces.

00:33.820 --> 00:35.330
Also the Corps, marines with the

00:35.330 --> 00:37.620
26th Marine Expeditionary
Unit recently conducted

00:37.620 --> 00:41.160
combat marksmanship training
aboard USS Oak Hill.

00:41.160 --> 00:42.850
The training presents
a different challenge

00:42.850 --> 00:45.430
from a standard range, as it
provides a moving platform,

00:45.430 --> 00:47.610
affecting accuracy and lethality.

00:47.610 --> 00:49.430
The training is meant
to maintain readiness

00:49.430 --> 00:51.720
and combat effectiveness
while the marines conduct

00:51.720 --> 00:54.850
naval integration operations
with the U.S. Sixth Fleet

00:54.850 --> 00:57.000
inside their area of responsibility.

00:57.000 --> 00:58.533
And that's your Marine Minute.
