00:00.263 --> 00:03.096
(inspiring music)

00:07.530 --> 00:11.580
- On December 14th, we brought
in the maneuver brigades

00:11.580 --> 00:12.650
that are coming into Europe,

00:12.650 --> 00:14.210
and those that are leaving Europe.

00:14.210 --> 00:16.110
We brought 'em in to a
rehearsal facility here,

00:16.110 --> 00:17.790
and we went through all the movements

00:17.790 --> 00:20.370
and all the requirements for
them to come into theater

00:20.370 --> 00:21.420
and to leave theater.

00:23.370 --> 00:26.117
So we're moving four brigades in Europe,

00:26.117 --> 00:29.520
two coming in and two
leaving simultaneously.

00:29.520 --> 00:31.850
And so this facilitates
freedom of movement,

00:31.850 --> 00:33.100
because you know the plan.

00:33.100 --> 00:35.480
We've got our German
host nation folks here.

00:35.480 --> 00:38.120
We've got our Belgian
host nation folks here.

00:38.120 --> 00:40.890
So they understand the support
that we require of them

00:40.890 --> 00:42.830
and we coordinate that well in advance.

00:42.830 --> 00:46.650
So, a convoy pulls into a
German convoy support center

00:46.650 --> 00:48.730
they know what is
coming, it's planned out,

00:48.730 --> 00:50.070
they've got the fuel and the rations

00:50.070 --> 00:52.390
for that convoy to get
what they need to get

00:52.390 --> 00:53.650
and keep on moving.

00:53.650 --> 00:56.483
(inspiring music)

00:58.978 --> 01:01.930
The SHAPE, NATO, EUCOM
presence here is very important

01:01.930 --> 01:05.420
so they can understand
how the US ground movement

01:05.420 --> 01:06.660
is gonna happen

01:06.660 --> 01:07.970
not just for these four brigades

01:07.970 --> 01:10.282
but if we have to do it
on a much larger scale.

01:10.282 --> 01:12.490
(inspiring music)

01:12.490 --> 01:15.740
- But at the end of the day
it's really about making sure

01:15.740 --> 01:18.140
that the soldiers who are being supported

01:18.140 --> 01:21.670
that are here for nine month rotations

01:21.670 --> 01:24.381
get the world class
support that they deserve.

01:24.381 --> 01:27.214
