00:01.930 --> 00:04.530
- So this is new off site DFT

00:04.530 --> 00:06.430
up here in A.P. Hill, Virginia.

00:06.430 --> 00:10.800
The first, about four five
days were force on force.

00:10.800 --> 00:14.920
The battalion and the BLT
incorporating with the CLB

00:14.920 --> 00:17.250
that are deploying together on a MEU.

00:17.250 --> 00:20.550
Using all our assets and kinda
learning how to work together

00:20.550 --> 00:21.580
and accomplish tasks.

00:21.580 --> 00:25.970
So we went from capturing an
airfield and gaining a foothold

00:25.970 --> 00:28.710
to holding some blocked positions
to quickly transition in

00:28.710 --> 00:31.290
some raids and taking some compounds

00:31.290 --> 00:33.270
and transitioning back to defense

00:33.270 --> 00:34.933
and setting blocking positions.

00:35.937 --> 00:38.604
(radio chatter)

00:42.110 --> 00:43.450
- Generally this is important

00:43.450 --> 00:44.690
cus we don't get a lot of opportunities

00:44.690 --> 00:47.530
to work with tracks or
cat especially tracks

00:47.530 --> 00:50.170
I've worked with them very
little before this workup

00:50.170 --> 00:52.510
so being able to utilize
them in like defenses

00:52.510 --> 00:55.190
and blocking positions is, helped us a lot

00:55.190 --> 00:56.310
especially when movement.

00:56.310 --> 00:58.540
So considering our attack
on the mountain town

00:58.540 --> 01:02.520
being able to utilize them for
close drop off opportunities

01:02.520 --> 01:05.160
and to provide support
fire is extremely helpful.

01:05.160 --> 01:09.120
Tanks out here as well
along with LAVs and LAR.

01:09.120 --> 01:11.440
So it's a lot of assets we
don't usually get to work with

01:11.440 --> 01:13.690
on Lejeune especially
on this large of scale.

01:14.572 --> 01:17.739
