00:05.269 --> 00:06.102
(running)

00:06.102 --> 00:06.935
(shouting)

00:06.935 --> 00:07.768
- [Mark Nussbaumer] US soldiers

00:07.768 --> 00:09.480
from the 92nd military
police company train

00:09.480 --> 00:11.630
at the joint multinational
readiness center

00:11.630 --> 00:14.360
in Hohenfels Germany
during Allied Spirit 10

00:14.360 --> 00:17.350
from March 30th to April 17th 2019.

00:17.350 --> 00:18.910
The soldiers work side by side

00:18.910 --> 00:20.090
with their German counterparts

00:20.090 --> 00:21.890
from the 21st armor brigade

00:21.890 --> 00:24.963
in support of many traditional MP rolls.

00:24.963 --> 00:27.030
(distant talking)

00:27.030 --> 00:28.180
- It's a lot better having them here

00:28.180 --> 00:30.630
cause we don't have too many gun trucks,

00:30.630 --> 00:32.220
so having them here is extra security

00:32.220 --> 00:34.160
and getting to work with them is

00:34.160 --> 00:36.410
an experience that a
lot of people don't get.

00:37.260 --> 00:39.460
They teach us a lot, we teach them a lot,

00:39.460 --> 00:42.470
but having those extra guns
in the fighting positions

00:42.470 --> 00:45.319
is making it a lot better
and a more secure area.

00:45.319 --> 00:46.580
(breaking)

00:46.580 --> 00:47.413
- [Mark Nussbaumer] These soldiers

00:47.413 --> 00:48.410
worked during the exercise

00:48.410 --> 00:50.150
to improve their overall readiness

00:50.150 --> 00:52.451
and strength in interoperability.

00:52.451 --> 00:53.480
(engine running)

00:53.480 --> 00:54.420
- Tenants, they have a lot of good,

00:54.420 --> 00:55.740
knowledgeable information for us

00:55.740 --> 00:58.163
that maybe we don't
think about all the time,

00:59.000 --> 01:01.750
especially setting up certain
guns in certain positions,

01:01.750 --> 01:03.550
and they give us reasons why,

01:03.550 --> 01:05.106
and it makes a lot more sense.

01:05.106 --> 01:07.010
(engine running)

01:07.010 --> 01:08.250
- [Mark Nussbaumer] Colonel Glenn Schmick,

01:08.250 --> 01:11.160
18th military police brigade commander,

01:11.160 --> 01:13.060
says that training with allied forces

01:13.060 --> 01:15.160
is vitally important in practice.

01:15.160 --> 01:16.760
- It's absolutely critical when we talk

01:16.760 --> 01:19.740
about interoperability that
you actually have to do it.

01:19.740 --> 01:22.030
You could read about interoperability,

01:22.030 --> 01:23.530
you can say yes we can figure it out,

01:23.530 --> 01:27.940
but it's not until you try to
understand the communication,

01:27.940 --> 01:29.270
because we all have our own language

01:29.270 --> 01:31.114
or our own tactics and procedures,

01:31.114 --> 01:34.110
that once they come out here they have to,

01:34.110 --> 01:35.910
they start to integrate and learn,

01:35.910 --> 01:38.190
which means they physically
go knock on the truck

01:38.190 --> 01:40.680
and say okay, how do you employ

01:40.680 --> 01:43.320
and you can do it at all
levels at all echelons,

01:43.320 --> 01:45.720
at the same time in a field environment.

01:45.720 --> 01:46.553
- [Mark Nussbaumer] From the 105th

01:46.553 --> 01:47.872
mobile public affairs detachment,

01:47.872 --> 01:50.183
I'm army staff sergeant Mark Nussbaumer.
