00:00.861 --> 00:04.687
(emotional piano music)

00:04.687 --> 00:06.260
- [Commanding General]
Within ever marine or sailor

00:06.260 --> 00:07.560
there's this will to fight

00:07.560 --> 00:08.693
and this will to win.

00:09.600 --> 00:11.850
So this competition brings that out

00:11.850 --> 00:14.050
it helps to sharpen that fighting spirit

00:14.050 --> 00:16.497
in every single marine
or sailor in the 2nd

00:16.497 --> 00:19.079
MLG in the United States Marine Corp.

00:19.079 --> 00:19.950
(laughing)

00:19.950 --> 00:22.100
So the mission of a marine rifle squad

00:22.100 --> 00:23.171
is to locate, close width

00:23.171 --> 00:25.733
and destroy the enemy by fire maneuver.

00:27.550 --> 00:29.290
So at the end of the day
this is about leadership.

00:29.290 --> 00:30.912
This is about NCOs taking charge,

00:30.912 --> 00:31.869
leading marines,

00:31.869 --> 00:34.140
taking them through difficult situations.

00:34.140 --> 00:36.702
Overcoming challenges, over obstacles,

00:36.702 --> 00:38.763
that's what leadership's all about.

00:41.460 --> 00:43.410
So as we talk about the six steps

00:43.410 --> 00:44.950
of leadership this is a prime

00:44.950 --> 00:46.100
example of how they're doing at getting

00:46.100 --> 00:47.259
after at being fighters,

00:47.259 --> 00:49.775
fitness, fidelity, all those things,

00:49.775 --> 00:51.649
a tremendous effort by the team

00:51.649 --> 00:53.413
in terms of execution.

00:54.431 --> 00:56.675
